There are few things cuter or more important than your baby's firsts, but baby's first Thanksgiving is especially poignant. Coming up with Instagram captions for baby’s first Thanksgiving requires more thinking than a sleep-deprived parent is used to, but come on: you can't bypass a holiday like Thanksgiving with an emoji as a caption, you need to pair your photos with some good first Thanksgiving quotes. It's a huge day, and the meaning behind the holiday is even more wonderful when you're holding your sweet baby. To help you capture all the feels, I've included a mix of lyrics, movie quotes, book quotes, and original ideas that fit the day.
The trick is that you need to know your audience. If you're going to joke about how your baby hated Aunt Ida's lumpy mashed potatoes, or how the plate in your cousin Randy's head has made him somewhat of an unpredictable personality around the little ones, you want to be sure that those people don't follow you on Instagram. Perhaps save those remarks for the group chat with your siblings, where you completely rip into all of the crappy foods that your aunt tried to pass off as edible while you all just drank the good wine you brought. By sticking to captions with appropriate first Thanksgiving quotes, you’ll keep the holiday spirit alive on your Instagram feed (and keep your relationships in tact).
In all fairness, though, it can be hard to come up with meaningful first Thanksgiving quotes when you’re emerging from a food coma after too much turkey. So, here are some Instagram captions that just reflect how thankful and joyful you are on this holiday to be with your baby.

— Amy Poehler, Yes Please

— Phil Collins, “You’ll Be In My Heart.”
Wistful
“Goldfish get big enough only for the bowl you put them in. Bonsai trees twist in miniature. I would have given anything to keep her little. They outgrow us so much faster than we outgrow them.”
—Jodi Picoult, My Sister’s Keeper
The Pic Of All The Grandbabies
“The soul is healed by being with children.” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Pic Of The Oldest Children Looking At The Babies
