life amidst the madness...

two weeks from tomorrow we will be hitting the road for atlanta.

in the middle of all this, lillian is clueless and chuggin' right along. 
we have added yogurt, blueberries, beets and carrots to her diet. she couldn't be happier!


when we first started on solids (about a month ago) we wanted to follow baby led weaning (you can read about it here and here). lets just say it didn't work out as planned...i guess we started a bit early and she didn't really get the concept of grabbing the food and placing it into her mouth. so, i started mashing things a bit and spoon feeding her. i wanted her to open her mouth to ask, and she has. when she doesn't, we are done. but recently she has gotten so much "grabbier" (is that even a word? it is in my life...) so i decided maybe she was ready to feed herself. um, yes, she was ready, more than ready i think! she gave me this look when i handed her the spoon and placed pieces of sweet potato and peach in front of her like, "yes! mom you finally read my mind!!!"
i had a hard time catching  a pic of her massive grin as she flung homemade blueberry yogurt everywhere.
the dogs were in heaven.


more please?
