Squish

Look at my squishy baby!  I just love to squish her.  I will call her squish!  Actually, I've been calling her piglet because she does the sweetest little squealing noise when she wants something.  She is *this* |<--->|  close to crawling and is just starting to pull up on things.   She has also mastered the butt scooch and is putting that, uh, extra surface area to work.  

We are up to 4 teeth now - ouch, and we've started solid foods. So far she loves bananas and avocados.  She does NOT like apples!  Is that possible?  You know what she really wants to try?  Chocolate cake.  Yep, that's right, she was throwing elbows at me trying to get a taste of some cake at a recent birthday party.  Girl knows what she wants.  And she is my child, after all.

Oh , oh, OHH, and she's been sleeping through the night.  Hallelujah! So here are some pictures of the babe:

Birthdays, 2014 Edition

So we've had a few birthdays: Luke #7 (WOW!) and Adrienne #4 (double WOW!).  Both kids wanted parties at "fun centers," but "fun" isn't quite the word I would use.  Nevertheless, Luke had a blast on the go - carts and Adrienne bounced her little heart.   Each birthday is so bittersweet. So bittersweet, in fact, that we take at least a week and a couple of cakes per birthday!
