All dolled up

We had fun last weekend getting Emmy dressed up in her Sunday best! Just had to share this gorgeous dress from Aunt Emily.

And Emmy gets solid foods!

Over the past month we have ontroduced Emmy to sweet potatoes, pears, peaches, corn, peas and green beans. Perhaps more that I am forgetting about too. She LOVES gnawing on banana chunks in her mesh feeder! It's so nice for me because she can hang out and feed herself while I attend to other things in the kitchen.

Marcus starts preschool!

We got Marcus enrolled in preschool this year, and now he's been going for a month, but here's the pictures from his first day of school!

He loves going to school, and keeps bringing home lots of artwork. This week we are going on a field trip to the pumpkin patch so stayed tuned for those pictures!

Emmaline finally gets to eat.

Poor kid. She's been watching us eat with her jaw munching like crazy with every bite that she watches us take for weeks now. I finally broke out the rice cereal yesterday. Here's some pictures of her very first cereal feed, it was a HUGE success, she LOVES it!

Hey there! Am thinking in one respect you are greatful to start her on foods but in another wishing the little peeps didnt grow so darn fast! Little Logan is learning fast and quite the little mimic -- he's talking up a storm, and signing when we know the signs for the words we use. Thanks for stopping by at my blog!

Step One towards a bottle!

Last night Emmy was nursing as usual. Before bedtime she likes to camp out on my boob for a good hour and soothe herself to sleep. This is partly because she is so overtired from her 30 minute cat naps all day, and partly because of her teeth I believe. So, last night I decided that I really wanted to keep my flesh to MYSELF! I started with one pacifier which she clearly had issues with. Nothing new though, she has consistently rejected every pacifier and bottle. I popped another one into her mouth and let her chew on it for a bit. I held it in...and she actually sucked on a paci! Here's proof! I took a picture in case she never does it again! Her very first acceptance of something other than my flesh or her fingers in her mouth! Tried again today though with no luck. I will keep trying her with it and the bottle....one of these days, one of these days!

Hmmm, what's that sound? Oh yes, my daughter waking up from her 3rd 25 min nap today!

Awwwwww...too cute! So what happened to your pretty blog face? Did it go caput with the computer happenings?
I hope all is well...and you're the only person I can think of that I remembered having a Gmail account.....if you think about it, could you send an invite to me? I have lost my google account info somehow. Thanks a bunch!
