Pardon the scratch on her face, she scratched herself this morning.

Introduction to Solid Foods 101
Two weeks ago we introduced Ella's first real solid food (other than cereal and oatmeal). I was a bit skeptical at first as to weather she would take to it but she did so like a champ! I first had her try it plain without being mixed in the oatmeal and she just made the cutest sour puss face. After a few tastes she decided that she really liked it. From there I mixed it into the oatmeal to see if she would take it and she sure did. Ella's introduction to solid foods started with applesauce and boy she just couldn't get enough of it. As fast as I was shoveling it in she would want more. If I tried to give her a quick break she would get really mad and start throwing a tantrum. I just couldn't help myself from laughing hysterically.
This past Saturday we introduced her to sweet potatoes. Ella decided that this time the only way she would take the sweet potatoes would be if it wasn't mixed in with anything else. She loves the solids so much that she just wants the fruits and veggies alone, with nothing else. Again, you couldn't shovel the food in fast enough!
I also broke out her booster chair yesterday (I honestly forgot we had it as we have been using the bouncy seat). She does great in it and looks like a big girl. We are so excited to be able to eat together as a family where we can feed her her baby food and we can eat our big people food at the same time.

Our Announcement One Year Ago...
It was last July at the annual Marcoux 4th of July festivities that Erik and I broke the news to our friends and family about our little one on the way. There were a select few who had learned of our news a few days earlier as we just couldn't hold it in. I can remember going to visit my mother on her birthday last year and writing a little note in her birthday card about our news. I can still remember the look on her face. She kept saying "no way" and started bawling out of sheer excitement. Erik's parents had just left from a visit the day prior and had just safely returned home when they received our call. I wish we could have broke the news to them in person but we did not know at that point. They were also excited as was everyone else. From there we made calls to Erik and Nicole who were also expecting at the very same time but did not yet know it. Of course we broke the news to my sister and her husband, Erik's sister and her husband, as well as his brother to let them know that their children were soon going to have a new cousin!
Where did the time go?
