So....What's for Dinner?



We took our girl to the doctor yesterday for her 4 month check up and we knew what was going to happen. The doctor "signed off" on her starting food. I wasn't surprised, we knew it was coming but honestly I can't say I was ready. Dr. told us to take it slow, don't rush things, and if she wasn't interested then wait.
Mckinley is growing so fast. I love watching both of my babies interact with one another. They both light up when the other enters the room. I've said it before but of all the things I give and provide for my children having each other is what I'm most proud of.
I went to the store this morning and picked up a box of yummy rice cereal. I had no plans of when I was going to begin but thought I'd just have it in the house. We made her a small bowl tonight and the girl LOVED IT!! She was opening her mouth when she saw the spoon coming her way.
Looks like we have a big girl on our hands. (sigh)

Where's the Party At?


4 months ago today I awoke very early. I had gone to bed the night before thinking the next morning would be my last day at work before I had my daughter. She surprised us and decided to come when she was ready! Mckinley turned 4 months old today. She's getting so big. This morning when I went to get her up I walked into her room and turned on her little light. That little head popped up and she began to look around. Precious.
She absolutely adores her brother and he, just for the record, adores her too! I think in a few years they're going to be a great team.

I'm a Big Kid Now


Did you gasp when you saw this picture? I had a lump in my throat while I was sitting next to him the other night. I can not believe that my baby is holding a pencil and writing his name!
Where in the world have the years gone?
