Alanna's first solids

( pics! )

We were eating out at Outback last night with the kids. Alanna was getting fussy, and possibly wanted to eat. We were in the middle of the room, crowded, no real privacy, so I didn't want to nurse her right away, especially as distracted by the room as she was - and I'd fed her just before dinner. So I handed her a piece of bread.

Nom nom nom! She went right to gumming it.

Just as well she was wearing brown, as she got crumbs all over. She gummed up two pieces of bread, and I'm pretty sure she actually ate some of it.

Part of what was so cool about this is that Maggie's first solids was also Outback brown bread, back in California!

Today's cute kid pics - sitting up girl!

Three pics today, of Alanna sitting up in the living room.

Cocooned baby

Okay, this is a bit of a blurry picture, I grabbed it with the camera phone, but it amuses me.

Alanna frequently gets laid down on my teddybear blanket in the living room, as she's been wanting to spend more and more time being the wiggleworm, rolling around and creeping and doing the baby push-ups and rocking back and forth that they do as a prototype before crawling.

Today she was on it when I was over in the kitchen, close enough to hear her but not looking right at her, making lunch for her big brother and big sister. I came back to find that she'd managed to roll over a couple of times taking the blanket WITH her this time - she'd totally cocooned herself, and was just wiggling around inside it, seeming fairly contented with the whole thing.

It was very cute
