As another weekend comes to a close and I look back at our week, I realize just how much fun we have! We're very blessed to have a healthy, happy little girl, and we're thankful for her every day!
Ella is motoring around more each day. She's still crawling and walking along furniture or walls. Now when she stands, she can bend over and pick things up without falling... most of the time.
This week eating, she tried cherries [mixed with apples--thanks for doing the work, gerber!], which she really likes. She tried a combination of bananas, plums & grapes, took two bites and decided she didn't like it. Like, spit-it-all-over-the-table dislike. So we'll have to try plums and grapes separately at some point to see if she likes them. It was better the next day mixed with apples--she'll eat just about anything mixed with apples or pears.
While we're on the topic of food... Any veggie ideas? All of her vegetables seem to be orange: sweet potatoes, carrots, squash. I'm sure she doesn't care that everything is orange, but I get a little bored of it. I guess she's getting plenty of beta carotene, right? She doesn't like green beans or peas, although I keep trying to sneak them in. She isn't supposed to have broccoli or cauliflower yet, because they can be too gas-producing for a baby tummy. I'm thinking we'll try zucchini with summer squash soon.
In the past few days, Ella decided she really likes the lawnmower and vacuum. When Mike was mowing the lawn, Ella watched from the deck and followed him all around [on the deck] every time she could see him. She jumped up and down, so excited. The following day, she followed the vacuum everywhere. Have you ever tried vacuuming the floors when you have a moving obstacle? When you move chairs, they stay where you put them. Not Ella. I just know that if there was a seat on the vacuum, she would ride it.
I'm sure you saw pictures from our trip to the wildlife park on Saturday. We had a great time; Ella was such a trooper and she loved the animals!
On Sunday, the Penn State All Sports Museum held a viewing party for the US vs Portugal World Cup game. Even though it was a semi-bummer of an ending, we had a great time!
And of course our pool and park days continue.
Happy Summer!
