Claire had her first "real food" experience! We mashed up avacado and she LOVED it! For the past few weeks she has been very interested in watching us eat. We had been putting her in the highchair and letting her sit at the table while we eat, but that just wasn't cutting it anymore. We are going to try carrots next. We were going to try them tonight, but I had them steaming and forgot about them & burned up the pan. Yuck!
After nearly 4 days without electricity, we are finally back up! We woke on Saturday to some hellacious winds, but luckily we escaped without damage to our house! The first day without power was a little unnerving, but we quickly learned to enjoy the family time! We spent the evenings playing with Claire. I am afraid we may have spoiled our 5 month old with all of the attention!
We sat by the fireplace with the candles burning, and read to each other, listened to the radio, and just talked. Oh, and nursed!
