Rice Cereal Anyone?

Chloe had her first taste of rice cereal on Saturday the 12th of September! She wasn't a huge fan, but I think she's starting to like a little more now.


"What are we doing, mom?"


"What is THIS!"


"I don't like that!"


"No! Mommy, please no!"


I think this one is pretty self explanatory and doesn't need the caption.

A Tribute to Papaw

"I close my eyes and I see your face. If home's where the heart is then I'm out of place. Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow? I've never been more homesick than now."
Homesick- MercyMe






I'll miss you Grandpa, and Chloe will miss her papaw. We'll see you later. :-)

Well as the title told you, we've been busy, busy, busy around here. Chloe has been growing like a weed (a very pretty weed). She's grabbing at things a lot more now, occasionally with two hands, and really getting expressive about what she wants and her likes and dislikes. She started doing raspberries by herself over the weekend and it's sooo funny! Taking away her binky (sticking with it) was one of the best decisions I've made. She does suck and chew on her fingers and thumb now, but that was inevitable, and she's not at the age where she can understand the word "no" and why we wouldn't want her to do that, so I guess we'll tackle that habit when the time comes. She been sleeping completely through the night ever since we took it away about 3 weeks ago. She's also answering to her name now, so she's learning and growing a ton.
Chloe and I visited my grandparents over the holiday weekend. We missed daddy VERY much, but we had a good time.
Chloe has been adjusting to going to work with me and loves her best friend Addie! We've also been going to bow parties, playing at the Independence Center, and all kind of things. Here's a few pictures of lately:

Mommy was having a little fun...


Some pretty bows Nahni got us at the bow party!


At the playground at the Center. She was sooo fascinated by all the kids running around. We're definitely gonna have to go back sometime.

Ok, here's a something I've been pondering... Chloe will be 4 months on Saturday and I know at 4 months you can start them on rice cereal and veggies and fruits then, but her 4 months doc appointment isn't until way later in the month. Can I go ahead and try her on the rice cereal or should I wait until we go to the doctor?
