Solids!

Aniston is growing way to fast and will be 6 months on Feb. 8th, so we decided to get her started on solids. So far we have only done rice cereal and some veggie puff snacks which she has done really good with. She is really starting to get the hang of eating with a spoon and I cant wait to start her on more and see her reaction. So we are new parents and trying to learn how to best transition her, so if any of you moms out there know of good foods to start them out with and what worked for your kids, let me know! I would love some recommendations! She also has started to roll over. We tried a trick by standing over her and having her look up at us and the weight of her head would turn her over and it didn't take her long to catch on. I can't believe she is getting so big. She is seriously the love of my life, along with my hubby of course, and I just love getting to spend everyday with her!
These were the veggie puffs she ate which she has to examine and hasn't quite caught on that she has to let go of it in her mouth so she ends up just sucking on her hand as it dissolves in her mouth


She loved it so much that she sometimes hops right on to the spoon

As you can tell by those chunky cheeks, she loves food!


Ringing in 2012

So I'm a little behind, so here is an update! To ring in the new year, Ben and I were in Utah celebrating with his family. We decided this year we wanted to get out and do something fun, so we went with Bens step brother Nate and his wife Katie to Salt Lake for the event EVE. We had never heard of it before but all through downtown they have concerts, laser shows, vendors and a firework show at the end. We really wanted to go for the fireworks and the laser shows, but by the time we got there the laser shows sold out, so instead we walked around downtown and through temple square and heard a little bit of the Nashville Tribute Band. We had so much fun and can't wait for what the year 2012 will bring. Ben is graduating in April and we will be moving to Utah, and then we really can't wait for our cruise in November with some of Bens close friends. I hope you all had a great New Years!
Here are some pics!
