First bites of cereal

Look who's eating! This girl was SO ready to eat, my goodness! She's been watching my every move at the table and when I finally offered her some food to eat, she literally grabbed the bowl and went in face first! Then after a warm bath she fell asleep (for the first time in her life) before 8 pm and slept the rest of the night. Give this girl some food, and more of it!

Birthday girl! 5

Happy Birthday to my first-born babe! She is 5 and ALIVE, 5 and lovin it! Big changes are on the horizon and many milestones ready to fall. My heart aches with love and pride, wishing like every other mother in history that she wouldn't grow up so fast. I intend to follow my own Moms words of advice posted to me on Facebook.

"She's five. Enjoy each moment. Slow down. Play dolls. Lay down on the floor and talk. Teach her to be kinder than necessary. I love you both so much."
And we do.
