Sweet Potatoes...Big Hit!!

She had three days of beans so I was able to give her something new to try - sweet potato. She loooved it, although the first cube she managed to knock out of my hands and it landed all down my front and the floor. Strike one. I defrosted another cube and she ate almost everything. She really enjoyed them. She is definitely not wanting much first thing in the mornings except her bottle, so her first solid meal (really just a taste test at this stage) is around 11am. I just gave her 1 Tbsp of oatmeal as a chaser to her bottle (we will call it dessert) and she was hilarious with it. She made the hmmmmmmmm noise throughout the entire thing along with laughs and lip smacking. She is really getting the hang of this. With anything new the first few spoonfuls she usually tries to lap it up off the spoon like a puppy. Then if she likes the taste it is mouth open and rooting at the spoon....makes it a little tricky to hit the target.

An Easter package came in the mail from her Grandma and Grandpa and her Great Nana Shirley & G.Grandpa Coy from California. Enclosed were very sweet sun hats and other goodies and the most fancy dress that I have ever seen. It is a 12 month size so it is too big for now...I already tried it on her, but you will not believe it when you see it. Lets just say I will not be feeding her green beans in it...hahaha. I tried to get a picture of her in all the hats but it was a no-go as I pulled her out of her jumperoo for the photos and she obviously was not finished jumping...hahahaha. Thank you very much!!

We got her the foam puzzle piece mats for her to play on and I think these are the best thing ever. They are warm and softer than the wood. We also set up her Peek-a-block set she got from Brad and Sharon and the kids for X'mas. She really likes them. Every block has something different to look at. They taste just fabulous to according to Kailey.

We ended up just going to Wal-Mart this afternoon as it was too chilly to go out walking. She was happy to be out and looking at people and reuniting with her favorite aisle...Rubbermaid totes/storage (?). If she really likes someone she sees she will either blow raspberries their direction or let out her squeal/war cry so that is always entertaining. I love taking her and Parker for a walk and this will definitely be part of our daily routine, weather permitting. I will give the other dogs a chance too. hahaha.
