Adventures in Eating

Can you eat with your hand and foot in your mouth? Well my daughter can!

So it's getting a little messy. I'm not sure yet if it's my fault or that Luella hasn't yet perfected the skill of keeping the food in her mouth. Either way, it makes for lots of laughs and some cute pictures.
We've started with the orange foods; sweet potatoes are her favorite. As you can see below, tonight we went through some sweet potatoes, carrots and a little peaches before she was so full she could hardly move.
As you can see, my hand looked almost as bad as her face...this is because she likes her sweet potatoes and peaches soo much that with every bite she grabs a hold of me to get every last drop!

This is what 30 looks like!

Happy Birthday Daddy! We sent him on a scavenger hunt for his gift, a DeWalt miter saw. At first Jon asked me not to buy anything, then a few weeks later he was asking for a truck, so we (my parents and his) figured a tool was a happy medium!

That Tickles Uncle Nicolas!

Luella loves her Uncle, he can always get a smile and if he's lucky (like he was today) a giggle!

First Meal

Here we go!! Our babies first meal, she did pretty good. Daddy was very excited to FINALLY be able to feed her something...I've been hogging all the fun.

All Done

Does she look like me...

So at least we can make the same funny faces, even if she doesn't have my features.

The Bumbo

This amazing little seat now makes our little girl look grown up. She still can't sit on her own (she's far from it actually)but the Bumbo gives her some new skills.

Shopping Spree!

Is it even possible that Luella can get any cuter? Turns out she can after shopping with my mom. It was REALLY warm that day...but I just couldn't wait try on her new outfits!
