Get In My Belly...

On Saturday Ryan had her first meal of squash and she gobbled it all up! We are hopeful that she will be a better veggie eater than her mommy--keep your fingers crossed:)
The Heart of It All...

This past weekend we made a quick trip out to Ohio for one last visit before I return to work. We had a wonderful trip getting to spend time with the Johansens on Saturday and the Achters on Sunday. Our little girlie was the center of attention and she was loving it!

There were two babies for our girlie to meet and play with too; four week old Addy and five month old Brady. We also got to spend time with Auntie Natalie who is expecting a new playmate for Tink in mid-April!

Our girl also received two boxes of adorable spring/summer clothes from Pastor Beth, Anna and Katie--thank you so much for thinking of us!

She Likes It, She Really Likes It...

Well kinda. Tink had her first big girl meal of rice cereal this evening and it was a good first attempt. She could not quite figure out what to do with the cereal once it was in her mouth and the majority ended up on her belly instead of in her belly--we'll keep trying! Next weekend she starts on the veggies and we are taking suggestions for what we should introduce first--we are currently thinking squash.

This was also her first time sitting in the Bumbo and she did great--thanks for the loaner Nana!

Chunky Monkey...

Ryan had her four month well visit with Dr. Kline this afternoon and she is doing great! She has put on the pounds, weighing in at 13lbs 6oz (40th percentile)--Gamma wins the pool! Now she can start eating rice cereal, veggies and fruit--we can only imagine how much she'll weigh at her six month visit! No big surprise that her 22 1/2 inch length keeps her well within the 5th percentile.

Happy New Year!

Our girlie had a big new year's weekend. We took Jack to the Curtis Arboretum dog park for a run and his bad boy behavior very quickly got us kicked out! But not before Tink had a laughing fit as Ian and Jack chased after the soccer ball.

The next morning we took Tink to The Philadelphia Museum of Art for her first visit. She was the perfect little museum-goer and had a great time taking in all the sounds, colors and people! We made our exit when her diaper leaked, soaking both her tights and Ian--the public bathroom diaper/outfit change that followed was NOT a good experience.

New Year's Eve was a big party night for us--Ryan hit the sack at 6:30PM, we watched Superman Returns and then turned in by 10PM:)
