Eating?

Here is a picture of Frances eating, sort of. After putting off baby food/rice cereal as long as possible, we got to the 6 month mark and was urged by the pediatrician to start the food. Yes, it's fun to see the first bite and be in the finger food stage, but I would love to skip the whole mushy food stage. So far, she is not fond of any baby food (granted we've only tried squash, green beans and carrots), or the rice cereal. Even though it was just 20 months or so ago that we went through this with Charles, I cannot remember how long it took him to enjoy his new food. Another dilemma that is quite larger is that I cannot get her on a bottle. She took one a while back, but now refuses any bottle of many sorts (Dr. Brown, Playtex, Avent). Please, please...any suggestions?!!?!

p.s. - thank you Christine for the cute bib!

Favorite Activities

Here is a glimpse of what Charles has been up to lately - coloring and reading...and it's getting harder and harder to catch good pictures of him, since he is always on the move, but I do what I can. Most mornings before things get started, he requests "cayons," and most afternoons, he ends his day by reading...it is too cute!

6 Months Old!!

Short and sweet because I need to be cleaning or napping, but I wanted to post a picture of Frances - she is 6 months old! She is sitting up and starting to show her little personality - laughing at Charles, trying out her high pitched babbles and screams, and showing off her smiles. This a picture of her in her Sunday best....isn't she cute?! I have some baby food and beach pictures to upload in the next few days.
