Thanksgiving in Nebraska and First Foods!

This year, we spent Cecilia's first Thanksgiving in Nebraska. During this trip, we learned that Cecilia will sleep the whole way if we put her to bed in her car seat after a normal night-time routine and drive and night. It worked like a charm, although mom and dad were tired because she was up at her normal time! We had Wednesday to recover (yea grad school and no class on Wednesday) and on Thursday we went to Columbus for a Thanksgiving feast at Hannah's Aunt Karen's. It was a fun day, especially since Hannah got to play Settlers of Quatan twice! She didn't win at all, though. Cecilia was a big hit with the family, and she laughed and cooed at all the attention. Everyone commented on what a wonderful baby we have, and we, of course, agreed. After a fun, but long, day, we drove back to Oma's and enjoyed some quiet. On Friday, we headed to Lincoln to visit Grandpa Yount. We had a seafood feast and hung out. Cecilia enjoyed Grandpa's banjo and even tried to play it a little. We had an enjoyable visit, and made it back to Oma's in time for Cecilia's bedtime.

In addition to all the Thanksgiving fun going on, Cecilia also got her first taste of solid food. As it turns out, it was not a roaring success. Although, looking back on it now, she liked it more that day than she does now. Now, she does not like solid food and will not eat it. The videos of solid food eating are on youtube - some of them should be in our sidebar. They are too long for the post, so I just uploaded several videos.




Later in the day, Daddy gave it a try. At this point, she was still slightly interested.
