FOOD!


Well, posey has started eating rice cereal!!! hooray! she really loves it! she gets excited and grabs my hand to bring the food in faster! i know she is still learning how to get the food into her mouth, but right now she eats like a cat drinks. i will stick the spoon in her mouth and she sticks her tongue on top of the spoon and curls it under over and over to get the food! it makes me laugh.

another thing she is doing now is playing bashful. oh boy. it makes me grit my teeth. aaron will be talking to her and she will smile with her whole face and turn her head away. what in the world? it is way too cute to handle.

things i'm loving right now:

-she has to be touching my face when i start to snuggle her in to go to sleep.
-she plays with her toes when she sits in the bumbo seat
-she is so intrigued with feeling things. she touches and scratches on everything! (loves the couch)
-she has started talking in high pitch now. that might be my MOST favorite right now.
-she reaches out to grab and play with things.
-BABY EINSTEIN, BUMBO, EXERSAUCER

the story-- mandy and i snuck away from the dreaded cafeteria to partake in some delicious Cracker Barrel foods. i usually put an extra outfit in posey's diaper bag just in case she ruins her other one somehow. we were just going to lunch and heading back to campus after that. well, she really went and did it this time....she blew out her diaper and her outfit!!! i had to give her a wipes bath in the bathroom and then i realized that we would be exiting the restroom with a naked baby. i was cracking up inside as we walked out into the restaurant. it seemed like thirty people were going to check out as we made our way to our seats. i HAD to take a picture of that memory... naked baby in only a diaper and pink socks

look at that.
nancy, emily, andrew, posey and i went to traders point creamery and ate lunch at the restaruant there. em got chocolate milk....she said "you kinda have to get milk here." -cute.
these are four ladies who sat near us and offered to hold Posey while we finished eating and while they waited for their food. Posey was so sweet and just smiled at them while they passed her around to all get a squeeze. she is friendly.
little em and popo out by the pool

she wore shoes today. it made me chuckle.

wednesday, i was driving with Posey and she was a little fussy on the way. I grabbed a rattle and held it at the closest edge of her carseat. I was looking ahead and shaking the rattle at the same time and all of a sudden, i felt this little tiny hand reaching and grabbing for the rattle. Her hand latched onto mine and i just couldn't help but smile! It was so sweet. I cant' believe she is reaching out for things...it's precious.

Posey recieved a letter in the mail from Mia today. It was a picture that Mia colored for her. :)

for some reason,there were three items of food i justHAD to take pictures of this summer.
1. the BLT i ordered at sonic one night.  they put grape tomatoes on there because they were out of big tomatoes.  they were also out of lemonade, mozzarella sticks and something else.
2. this is the ice cream cone tony bought me. thanks, tony!

3.as previously mentioned in another blog entry..... this was my ice cream cone that i made in holland michigan. it was close to perfection....


it rained here all day today! i tried to get some house cleaning done, but i still find myself playing, staring and holding Posey so much! i am just having so much fun with her! I'm giving her tylenol for her teething and every time i bring the dropper near her mouth, she purses her lips together and makes that "ppplllllttttttt" sound. it is so funny! 

also today, she held a rattle and was shaking it to make noise with it. She was laughing at herself all the while hitting herself in the face with it. she would flinch at her own arms flailing around with that rattle in hand. she is a nut baby.
