Boots' First Cheerios

A month or so ago, Elizabeth tried Cheerios for the first time.
Such a big girl!!

Checking it out....

Into her mouth it goes... Hmmm.....

...and back out it comes ~ with a second "unknown" Cheerio!
(We thought it had fallen in her lap. Oops.)

We are happy to report that Boots is now an avid Cheerio-eater, although she currently prefers the more flavorful "Puffs."


Here are some more sweet pictures of our sweet baby girl.

A friend who recently met Boots commented that it is hard to tell the color of the girls' eyes from the pictures on the blog. Well, they are very BLUE, as you can see from the picture below.

Getting measured, as we do every month.
Here, Boots' 8 month measurement on her measuring blanket from Aunt Karen.

Elizabeth loves her play table! She pulls up and even has begun to "dance" to the music.

As for "Boots Updates," let's see....
She currently has 4 teeth completely in, with a 5th almost all the way in, and a 6th pushing its way through. She still isn't sleeping through the night. She did for 5 nights 2 weeks ago, but she put that to a quick halt. She'll get there, though.... No, she never took a bottle very well, so we are now working on a sippy cup. She is much like Alli with her temperament ~ very "easy" and "good". For a little insomniac baby, she really is very happy. We get comments all of the time about how "smiley" she is, and it is true! She is very busy and loves to head directly for outlets and cords. Boots is happiest when her big sister is around; she loves to watch and interact with Alli. If Brad walks into the room, she squeals and gets so excited and will even scream if he doesn't come immediately to her. Already a Daddy's Girl. :) She loves me, too, although mostly, I am honored by being her favorite food source (as Alli says, she loves to "bress-a-feed.") She has even gone through phases of smacking her lips when I walk in the room. Literally. She is stubborn and as head-strong as an 8 1/2 month old can be, but she is a sweet, precious, happy baby girl!!


Okay, so these last two pictures are not of Boots; they are "late posts" from the Amos Lee concert last month. So amazing!
