2009, Birthdays & Food!

Happy New Year!!!

With the New Year we decided to start new things- such as solid food for Samantha! She did really well with her rice cereal & tonight she tasted carrots. Overall she's really taking to eating solids. We had noticed that she was watching us eat pretty intently & when she would sit on my lap while I was eating she would go for my spoon or fork; so we figured that she was ready. So far, so good. The only bad face she's made is when I didn't put enough milk in her rice cereal. Her little mouth twisted into such a grimace!

Getting ready for our first solids! We put a little rice cereal on her tray for her to explore.

When it got into her mouth she paused a bit when she realized something was on the spoon; but then she just kept going!

Lance helping Sami figure out this eating thing.

Sami is learning the eating thing pretty quickly, now she has her own spoon to play with while mommy or daddy feed her.

Oh yeah- we are also eating our toes now!! Yummy!

Happy Birthday Nana!!!

So Tuesday, 1/6, was my mother's birthday! Happy Birthday! She was sick & had business to tend to on her actual birthday so we celebrated on Friday. We (Lance, Sami, my brother Chris & I) joined mom & dad for dinner (fried shrimp & oysters!! yum!) & cake. I hope you have gotten a chance to relax & kick some of the yuckiness of being sick. Also I heard your granite is in the kitchen!! Yeah!!!! Happy Birthday Mom!

Notice how well Sami is sitting up now! (Also notice the bling on her wrist!)

We got all dolled up for Nana's birthday- isn't she adorable??!!
