vegetable medley

I am having a good time introducing solids to Presley. Since rice cereal wasn't a big hit, I was worried that vegetables would be a struggle too, but she has proven me wrong. Sweet potatoes, squash, peas and carrots are all going down the hatch without too much of a fight. She still makes an awful face for the first bit of whatever it is but eventually we are shoving it in by the spoonfuls. We finally put together the highchair which means I no longer have to stand up or sit on the floor to feed her. We have our 6th month check-up next week. I can't believe she is already 6 months old. This time last year, we were just letting the cat out of the bag that we were pregnant and now here we are feeding our sweet girl solid food.

Ready to go.

Look at the expression on her face. Priceless.

manic monday

Not much new to report this week. We are back in Lubbock and in our normal routine. Presley slept 9 hours on Friday night and I spent at least 2 of those hours with my ear glued to the monitor waiting for her to make a sound. We are eating like a champ these days. She likes sweet potatoes and squash way more than yucky rice cereal. This week we are on to peas. Our first green veggie...I'll let you know how it goes. She has been showing a lot of signs of cutting teeth lately, so we might be seeing some pearly whites soon.

Toes are our new favorite thing to eat.

Eating the wall...don't ask me.

Eating the knob on the DVD player...again, don't ask me.

trippin'

We took our first extended vacation with Presley last week as we ventured home to Little Rock. What a crazy week trying to see everyone and show off our little girl. She did great on the plane and loved meeting so many new people. We did all kinds of stuff, and before I knew it the week was over.

Getting on the plane in Lubbock. We literally made it to the gate 2 minutes before we boarded.

sweet summertime

Sorry again for the lack of posts this summer. Our days go by so fast. Presley will be 5 months old in a few days. We are getting ready for her first flight as we head to Little Rock on the 7th. I can't wait for everyone to meet her. Here are some new pictures to oooo and ahhh over.

Ready for church.
