New Foods

Nellie has started on solids and we are having her try all different sorts of foods. Today was peas. She is not too sure about them yet. Food on the face photos, though are always a classic! It's a little blurry but I think she was dodging the spoon.

Nellie's stats

Nellie is 17 lbs 6 oz and 25 1/4 inches. Big girl. She is almost seven months now too! Hard to believe. She is super strong and eager to learn.

It's getting colder

Thank goodness Becky gave us all these warm clothes for Nellie. The temperature has really dropped. Nellie had to go out for a check up at Dr Gough's and to get some shots.

Where have we been?

I know, I know. We have been trapped in Facebook, working/vacationing in Florida and busy at work.

We are all doing very well. I took Nellie to Kansas so she could meet her Great-Grandma Velva and her Great-Uncle Larry plus all our other family and friends in Lyons and Wichita. We then went to Tampa to visit Mark who was directing a play at USF.

Nellie and I spent a lot of time on the swings at the playground. I had her in the Bjorn and we would swing for ages. We both really loved it. We also discovered with the help of our hosts David, Amanda and Dylan that bouncing on a large exercise ball is very soothing.

Nellie did very well on all the flights. I was very grateful that Mark came back with us since we accumulated some gifts from the journey.

I am back at work and Mark is taking this opportunity to stay at home with Nellie. They are having a great time together and Mark is relishing Nellie's first word - "dadadadadadadadadada"!

We have two cats now. We rescued a lovely and lively boy named Dashiell. He and Dylan are in LOVE! Dashiell has been a wonderful companion for Dylan. It is all a bit of a handful but fun at the same time.

I will get more photos posted here. Our harddrive is full on our computer so we haven't been able to upload from the camera.
