first food

lately silvie has been showing interest in watching us eat and occasionally has reached for our food. so today we tried some rice cereal to see if her tongue thrust reflex had disappeared and from the looks of it, it hasn't. better luck next time.

month: four

well hello, 2011! i didn't see that one coming quite so quickly. our baby girl is growing just as fast as the time is going by. craziness. so here are a few of her latest achievements.

• first giggle. (for daddy of course!)


• sits on her own with very little assistance.


• obsessed with the bird on her exersaucer.


• finds every excuse not to nap.


• melts mommy's heart with her chatty smile while nursing.


• drops everything to hear "the wheels on the bus" song.


• no longer a fan of the bottle.


• started running with mom in the bob.


• has the camera-in-hand-tongue-out pose mastered.
