First Meal

Lia has been introduced to the exciting new world of solid food. First on the menu was rice cereal. Not a big hit (and it gave her gas). The picture is a little deceiving because she looks like she's enjoying it. Next was sweet potatoes. Still a few grimaces but her system seemed to handle it well. At this point she's just getting acclimated to the different tastes and textures and learning how to swallow. Next up is oatmeal, bananas and avocado. Mmmm.

Music to my ears

I have discovered that Lia is a big fan of bubble wrap. She just laughs and laughs! Ah, the simple things.

Holiday Pictures

It's cold here. COLD! We're talking negative numbers at night and single digits during the day. 'I haven't wanted to leave the house in a couple of days' cold. And all of you with babies know it's that much harder to get ready to venture outside. So, with all this time in the house I've been trying to capture the perfect picture of my darlings Lia and Monkey for our Christmas card. It has not been working out. Surprisingly Lia has been a willing subject and just as surprising Monkey has not. The only time Monkey was even a little agreeable was when he had baby fingers to lick. Looks like I'm going to have to keep on trying!

Here he is jumping off the couch. He had enough!

What a sad face!

This picture cracks me up. Lia is being such a cutie but I could not get Monkey to turn around. It was like he was sulking in the corner!

Milestone

Our little girl is growing up so fast. She is now five months old and seems ready to take on the world. She has recently started rolling over. I was beside myself with pride the first time she did it! I caught the second time on tape. It won't be long now before she's crawling and then walking. Enjoy the footage.
