Vivian is 5 months old

11/9/08

Today marked Vivian's second attempt at eating solid foods and surprisingly enough we achieved success! We took Lenore's advice of sitting her at an incline (we used the "happy seat") to help her swallow. She dribbled out the first couple of spoonfuls, but after seeing me eat a couple of bites she seemed to get the hang of it. She ate a quarter of the food that I made and actually savored some of it with her tongue!

After the big Thanksgiving meal the Rowley/Collins cousins got together on the couch to take a couple of photos.

Mommy's Lil' Turkey

11/27/08

Our families all got together at Lenore's house to celebrate Thanksgiving together this year.
Each of us cooked a different part of the meal; Will was on Turkey duty, Lisa and Lenore made the pies, Allison brought the sweet potato, Dave made the rolls, my parents made the salsa/guacamole and I brought the mashed potatoes. Since everyone was going to be eating, we thought it would be a good idea to introduce La Vivi to solid foods. The main dish was rice cereal. We mixed the cereal with formula and sat her down in the baby Bumbo seat to commence eating. Needless to say most of it ended up on her bib. Better luck next time!
