Weekly Update

We started out the week trying a new food: Cheerios!

Sweet baby L was very excited to try them and even though she hasn't done a ton of self-feeding (I know, I know!) she was working it out.

Oops! Dropped one!

The best action can really only be seen on video. In the first video you can see Sweet baby L's best technique for eating cheerios and in the second you get a glimpse of her cheerio eating buddy kate and a bit more cheerio fun.





Some cheerios did make it into her mouth, but I found this in her chair when she got up.

Friday night we went camping at a local park. Brad and I enjoyed camping quite a bit in our former lives and I think we'll continue to after this, but in my limited experience camping with a nine month old who is in constant motion and likes to eat everything she touches, just isn't that much fun. We did have some good times though!

This is sweet baby L going to bed on Friday:

I tried to stay in my citronella orb! It didn't work. My right leg is COVERED in bites!

AHHHH! Camping hair!

The best part of camping! BREAKFAST! It's not in the photo, so you'll just have to imagine it. It was bacon and eggs!

It was an empty can! In the wilderness you have to make toys out of everyday objects.

We were going to camp out Saturday night too, but since we got very little sleep Friday night we decided to pack it in and go home. I think L was a lot happier in her own room than outdoors and I was certainly happy to be away from the mosquitos.

I am loving watching L's personality grow. She's exploring a lot more lately and she's really just becoming a little person. It's really amazing to watch. I know everyone says that, but seriously, it really really is.

This is L exploring the vertical blinds and giving me the, "what's it to you" look.

I just love this photo. I love the face. I love the way she's sitting. We don't really have a name for that particular look, but she does it and then laughs. We all think it's pretty funny, I guess.

Here she's making her face and stealing my glasses.

and... finally... our bunny photo. This is the best one we've got. I had to bribe her with the remote even.

See you next week!

Awesome video!! Kate the cheerio poacher was our favorite part. And we can't wait to see that scrunchy face of cuteness in action. :)
