Big Boy Food!

My mom and dad have finally convinced me to eat big boy food. I have been pretty contented to just chew on stuff like this marker, and fill up on nurse. They've been trying to get me to like big boy food for about a month now, off and on, but it just wasn't doing it for me. And then, 2 days ago, something happened, and all of a sudden, I love the stuff.



oh, ha, that's me being cute. The picture doesn't really have anything to do with my story, but who could resist??



Here are my favorites so far. Apple sauce, (not pictured, but very yummy. It tends to lean on the tart side.) Rice cereal--good stuff; both kinds. I like the puffed stuff because it just disappears in my mouth. And, I don't have any teeth yet, so I can't really chew anything. Sweet potatoes--yum. I like how they turn my face orange. Bananas--divine. Need I say more? White grape juice/water bottle, ah, so good. For some reason I've had a hard time getting used to bottle nipples, but I am getting the hang of the now, and I love my juice bottle!



Eating.



Wearing.



Loving.

Ah, the life.

In other news, I do appear to be sprouting a tooth. Mom says she can feel it and see it a bit. I was wondering what what up with my mouth.

Other than that, I'm growing, scooting on my tummy, (crawling is a bit beyond me just yet) and enjoying getting outside for walks with mom when the weather is nice.

Up up, up, Old Rag Mountain.

Getting ready to go on Saturday morning!

The best way to manage the 7.5 mile hike up and down a mountain...

Laughs with Grandpa at the top!

So beautiful and big!

Fun hat for the cooler walk down. Don't I look cute?!

It was a fun hike. We were all tired by the time we got back down the other side of the mountain, but that's something I'd like to do again. Daddy said his shoulders hurt when we made it back down, but he liked taking me up there, I could tell. I hardly fussed at all! I love outside! Oh, and mom said to say this, "Aunt Joanna, we missed you!"

Not so sure about the leaf pile.
