Amelia shared a half birthday with Thanksgiving this year - so that was kind of fun. I took my camera that day - but don't think I took any pictures. I've have to check with Aunt Abbi.
She's officially sitting up now - which is fun and gives her a better view of the world. She playing with toys at her feet and also getting very grabby. Anything in her reach is usually fair game. And then, of course, it goes in her mouth. The kids are realizing that they need to keep things away from her now, or they end up with slobber on them. Oh, they can't even imagine what's coming when she's crawling and into their stuff!
We'll also started her on some fruits and veggies. She doesn't like any fruits - too tart?! - so we've moved onto veggies. I've decided to puree my own this time around. Starting with a leftover stash of veggies from a relish tray at Thanksgiving, we tackled cauliflower. Then onto some stuff we had in the freezer - peas & mixed veggies. And then this weekend I purchased, steamed and did up some squash and sweet potatoes. All have been a hit - as long as they are mixed in with her cereal. She doesn't seem to like anything "straight up" yet.
Luckily, we were able to borrow a Magic Bullet from a friend to try out - it's a fantastic small blender that has made it very easy to make my own food for her. And we are also using the purees in some of our food too to get a boost of nutrition.
