Brianna's 1st Thanksgiving
Little Brianna Miracle McHale woke up to the smells of Thanksgiving that was cooking in nana's & pappy's house.
"Okay Bri I'm up." Kevin says waking up when he heard her cry from the crib that was in his room.
"Guess what my sweet girl today is your 1st Thanksgiving." he says as he carried her to the changing table to change her.
Once Brianna was freshly changed Kevin carried her down for her breakfast.
"Morning Kevin sleep well?" his mom asks making Brianna's cereal.
"Yeah I did and Brianna finally slept through the night." he says setting Brianna in the high chair to feed her.
'That's good I call that progress." His mom says handing Kevin Brianna's cereal, so Kevin could feed her.
Brianna ate every last bite of cereal that Kevin fed her for breakfast, and after she was done eating Kevin put her in the playpen to play with her cousin. While he ate breakfast,
"Well my little bee today you get watch the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade for the first time." Kevin says picking Brianna up out of the playpen and setting her on his lap, so she could watch the parade.
During commercial's Kevin dressed Brianna in my 1st thanksgiving t-shirt that had a funny turkey on it and a cute skirt along with her slippers to keep her feet warm. Brianna liked seeing all the pretty colors, and all the floats.
"Since you're going to be up for a little bit how about we play or read a story until you go down for your nap" he says carrying her back up to his room to play for a little bit until she got sleepy
Kevin worked with her on her motor skills until she wanted to hear a story. While he was reading to her she fell asleep in his arms.
"Sweet dreams my little princess." He says tucking her into the crib for her late morning nap
After he tucked Brianna in he went downstairs to see what needed done for the meal they were having that night. His mom didn't need any help, so he played with Sophie in the backyard, and took her on a walk until Brianna woke up from her slumber.
(An hour and a half later)
"Sweetheart you were supposed to sleep for another hour and a half." He says picking her up to comfort her.
He took her downstairs to rock her to see if that will do any good, but he found out the problem. She was cutting another tooth
"Come on sweetie let's see if nana has anything for you to gum on cause daddy left your teething rings back at our house." He says carrying her downstairs
Nana was nice enough to let Brianna gum on a carrot while Kevin went to the store to get a spare one that he can keep at his house when he comes for a visit.
(Thirty minutes later)
"While we wait for your teething ring to get cold maybe having some applesauce might help." He says placing her into her high chair for some lunch
The applesauce felt good on Brianna's gums, so Kevin got a second helping for her.
"She must really love applesauce" his mom says from the stove
"Yeah she likes anything I give her." He says smiling
"I'll make an extra helping of mashed taters for her and your brother's son" his mom says getting another bag of potatoes ready to peel.
"She loves those too." He says with a chuckle
"That's a good sign." His mom says getting some ice cream for Brianna to have to make her gum feel better.
Brianna had some ice cream, and that made her feel completely better.
"I think the ice cream did the trick mom" he says in shock when he sees Brianna smiling again
"That's what I used to have you guys gum on when the teething ring wasn't available we used to grab something cold from the fridge and let you gum on that to make the pain away." His mom says handing him Brianna's bottle
"Thanks I will use that for sure I didn't think she will cut another tooth while we were here." His says rubbing his eyes
"Sometimes it's hard to predict when the teeth will come in, so it's best to have a teething ring on you at all times." His mom says smiling
"Thanks I'll keep that for future references." He says as he gets Brianna out to burp her
Kevin massaged her muscles a little bit after lunch, so her legs and arms won't stiff up much. After the massage he took her on a walk through his old neighborhood. Following the walk he laid her down for her afternoon nap.
(Three hours later)
"Hey pumpkin ready for your first taste of thanksgiving?" he asks when he hears her wake up
She response with a gummy smile that could light up a room.
"I take that as a yes" he says changing her
Once Brianna was dry as a bone he took her down for Thanksgiving dinner.
"Here we go sweetheart." He says placing her in the high chair.
Kevin ties a bib on her to protect her clothes from getting her pretty outfit dirty. After everyone said what they were thankful for everyone began eating. Kevin fed Brianna mashed taters and some stuffing, and other goodies before he helped himself to the Thanksgiving feast.
"That night)
"I think Brianna enjoyed her first thanksgiving meal." Kevin says as he watches Brianna interact with her little cousin
"I think so too" his brother says as he watches his son interact with Brianna a little bit
While the family was having their pie Kevin heard a cry from the playpen
"What happened?" Kevin asks when he sees Brianna on the floor
His brother took care of his son while Kevin tended to Brianna's owies
"Its okay princess daddy's here" he says holding her.
Brianna started to calm down after awhile
"There we go no more tears now." He says when her cries go to cooing sounds.
After Brianna calmed down Kevin decided to give her a bath, and get her ready for bed. Once she was in her footie jammies the whole family gathered for a night of family fun before ending the night with watching Kevin on Glee.
