First solid food

We gave Emmeline her first taste of real food--rice cereal. She ate it up as if to say, "WHERE have you been hiding this stuff for the past 7 months?!?"

Perhaps the best part of the video is Atticus in the background saying, "It's pretty yucky." (We gave him a taste before giving it to her.) And then he says that he had a bite of applesauce and is "much better now."

Hmmm...

What does this say?


OH MY GOSH, I saw it. Do you want to see it, too?


LOOK. AT. THIS!


It says I'm 7 months old. Happy birthday to me!

Happy happy, joy joy.

Emmeline is one happy girl.


She loves sitting and playing.


As long as she has an audience!


Yep, a little bit of a ham.

HI!!!

That's all. Just "hi" from a happy, sweet girl.

"Sweet Emmeline"

To the tune of Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline." Enough said.

Weekend breakfast

Sometimes, when Dad doesn't have to work on the weekend, he makes us special yummy breakfasts.


Like this gigantic pancake, which I insisted on eating with my hands!


What the heck; it's a weekend, right?

At the doc

For my 6-month check up!


Oh, and the shots, too. Boo.


I did great, though. I was a real trooper!

1/2 a year? Already??

What's that you say, Mom?


I'm 6 months old already?


Woo hoo! This growing up stuff is fun!

Atticus and his buddies

It's hard to tell in these pix, but this is Atticus in the dark, reading to his stuffed animals after we'd put him to bed.


Seriously, he was reading to them. How cute is that?!?

And PS: He calls them his "buddies," just like his Mom and Aunt Gillian did.
