Babies First Hike

We went for a hike with two other families that we really like and who have such adorable kids. I was the slow poke so I'll have to pick up my hiking pace.

Lizzie's Opinion of Pears

She kept making this face eating pears.

More Babies on a Couch

We joined a group called PEPS (Program for Early Parenting Support) and were matched with six other families. Here is a picture of all of our little tykes!

Rub My Foot and I'll Take a Bite

We've been introducing solid food (or to her new toys) to Lizzie for a couple of weeks now. Every now and then she'll take a spoonful, but most of the time she'll blow raspberries as we try to put the spoon in her mouth. This last weekend we discovered a trick to getting her to eat. We rub her foot! She'll open her mouth, take the food and swallow when her foot is being rubbed. When I get a little more time, I'm going to do some research to see if there is a cause and effect really occurring or whether this trick is just a fluke.

Timber!

Each night, I read to Lizzie as we both sit on the bed. While I was read Dr. Seuss' 'Hop on Pop' I noticed Lizzie started to sway back and forth just a bit. Soon her eyes were closed and the swaying started to take the shape of big circles. Then...timber! She fell backwards and was asleep. I was happy that she was off to a restful sleep, but sad that my reading put her there so easily.
