Merry Christmas...belated.

Well I found this very cute outfit for christmas and for pictures while in Guatemala. Well it was in the checked luggage that took forever to finally get here. So we just got them a week ago. I thought, darn it, I am going to cram her in it and take a pic. So we did, and then quickly took her out. A little snowman!

Solids!!!!!

Well, we have done it. The Dr oked us to give Helen solid food and we have gone hog wild. Well not totally but we went to the store and bought a bunch. Rice Cereal, Pears, Carrots, Peas, Sweet Potatoes, and Squash. On the 26, we gave her some Cereal and today was pears. She is not swallowing a bunch but this is intended to be for practice and not dietary. So here are some pics...

These are the Cereal pics....She did not like it as much as the pears.

What is this?!?!?!


Ok, just this once...


Not again...


OY!


These last two pics about sum it up. Of course I had to taste and Rice Cereal is about like wall paste.

EEEEEEE, no me gusta!


Pleh!


These pics are from eating the Pears. They went over much better than the cereal but as you can see, it was bath time after.

I have pears everywhere, even on mommy.


mmmmm....


Just gimmie that spoon, I will do this myself!


"Yeah, I can could get used to this..."

Some more pics

I have just been taking some pics of Helen. Boy is she cute.

Here is one of her with a head band. Barely fits so I thought I better get this with a pic.

Look at that little sausage.


Being cute.


Daddy and Helen being cute.


Just standing around. Looking what is going on.

Some More...

Wow, I have been a bit lazy at getting some posting in. Helen is growing and all she does it eat and sleep. Amazing. She has started to learn how to use her face and just started to learn how to blow raspberries. So cute. Anyways. Here are some pics.

She is not mad here, we were just doing some tummy time and she was making faces..


See....all better.


Some more tummy time today.


Bebopping around.




These were taken in her swing. We just took the different poses and she moved back and forth.












We have this craddle (Thank you Auntie Sarah!!) and the cat, Sami, now fancies it too. See him underneath. Like bunkbeds....it is cute.

4th Month day!!!!

Well that is what I guess you would call it. On Jan , Helen turned four months. So of course we had a little party, why not? So we had cake and sang and cried. I hope the next time we do this, it will be much better. So her a few pics on that day and of the party.

I tried forever to get a smile, nada. Of course I put the camera down, it is all smiles. Always that way. Man is she getting big.







Chocolate cake with Vanilla Icing. mmm....

(We found a container of candles in the kitchen cabinet, some new and some used. Well I grabbed a used candle to burn since she was not quite a year. So it is a used candle from someone else's cake, maybe even her dad's)


Mo and Poppi with the b-day girl.


A nice pic of them and her just fixing to cry.

Some Pics

Here are some pics post Christmas. I have been meaning to blog more but we have been busy. We took Helen to the Dr today and she is 10 lbs, 9 oz!!!!! She gained a lb in a half a month!!! She is just as healthy as ever and the Soy formula is working wonders for her.

What a Ham!!! Here is she being changed. Notice the Dale Jr Onsie. Not that we are Nascar fans but it was on sale at a second hand store, so it was cheap.


She is starting to sit up so here is she with Austin "sitting" on the couch. Sometimes she needs a bit of help....


Here is Joey, my In-laws Cocker. He loves the ball. Loves it soo much here he is, asleep with the ball in his mouth, ready to play.


Here is Helen with Poppi (Daiv), standing on the table. Such bad habits.


More of the Same...


I come out of the bath, (Helen went first) and guess what Austin dressed her in. Looks like a bunch of prisoners to me.


Here is Helen "riding" Shasta. Poor Shasta. But I guess she does not mind.


Here is Helen's Swing. 'Mo (Lenore) got it for her for Christmas and it is like heaven. I could kiss the guy (or gal) that created this thing.
