Simple shots of our life this past Thanksgiving week. Tune back next Friday for a similar post. I’d also love to have you follow me on Instagram (@cakestand) if you’re interested in more photos of food and baby. Have a beautiful and bountiful weekend, my friends!

Lucy sits up on her own now…and loves looking at good books like this one: Everyone Eats!

And she also turned 5 months old.

I’m stole away for coffee a few mornings this week.

But eagerly awaited the moment I got to hold my girl.

We baked an apple pie…

Received the sweetest baby headbands…

And counted our blessings.

Lucy’s first Thanksgiving couldn’t have been lovelier. We certainly have much to be thankful for.

I’m eagerly anticipating Thursday. And I’m thankful my mom has turkey duty. As much as I love eating turkey, I can’t stand preparing it. I’m not good with raw meat and those birds are heavy! I’d much rather contend with rolling pins, butter, and bags of flour. And so I’m baking rolls, pies, and croissants (yes croissants!) for Thanksgiving. And as I get to work in the kitchen, I’ll think about the many moments this year that brought me joy and all the abundance that surrounds us. I hope everyone celebrating this week has a wonderful day with friends and family. These are a few of the many things I’ve feeling thankful for….

Meals with friends and family. “Supper” by Phoebe Wahl

A beautiful and healthy pregnancy.

The best husband (and father) in the world.

Good cups of coffee.

A new home….

and a nursery filled with handmade gifts and love.

And without any doubt…I’m most thankful for our sweet baby girl….

The best gift in the world.

This is one of my favorite Lucy accessories. We all need more polka-dots in our lives.

Not only is she a tall baby (98th percentile, folks) but she also has a very long tongue.

The very first piece of furniture my mother bought…and now my favorite piece in my own house.

We’ve been told that babies start to develop an interest in food around this time…

And do you know what else in that adorable mouth? Two, yes TWO, teeth.

Can’t get enough.

Pillow. Headband. Overalls. Need I say more?

She sleeps in her crib (some of the time) and this is what I see when she wakes up.

Soft pillowy potato goodness (pillowy is not a word…but it should be)

Family Christmas photographs happened this week. Can’t wait to share them with you in a few!

I know I’m her mom, but seriously…those cheeks.

The best thing about making crepes for dinner? Breakfast the next morning.
