Finally! They're going to give me some real food!
Bring it on! This is going to be great!
This is new... an eating tool.
The rice cereal has an interesting flavor...
strange texture...
but all in all, not too bad.
Wait - are you serious? That's all we're having?I have decided that I will be in the theatre when I grow up. It would be a shame to waste my natural talents. Just see for yourself, below:
Saturday we got up early and went to the farmer's market again. Since it was earlier than Delia usually wakes up, I took her straight from the bed and put her in her car seat, (jammies, lovey, and all) in hopes that she would go back to sleep. She didn't, but was content to watch the activities until her 8am bottle, then got a few cat naps. It was a nice cool morning and I would say there were twice as many vendors as last Saturday.
Brand new to Starkville, the market lasts from 7am-11am every Saturday and will run through October. A man who brought blueberries and blackberries was sold out by 7:30.
Grady's photo tent - a pretty happenin' place
Grady's photos
Corn dogs
Herbs and flowers for sale
Homemade bread, pies, coffee... yum!
Baby Katherine, who often plays on the playmat with Delia at daycare, and her mom Amy were there.
Walking around in the early morning sun calls for a sun hat!
Delia and I went straight from the market to a new mom's group that we were invited to. We made some new friends and none of them got tired of talking about diapers, poop, passies, or spit up!
This is my friend Carmen and her 2-month-old, Amelia. Carmen is a nurse in Labor and Delivery at the hospital in town. When she arrived, she realized she already knew 2 of the ladies because she had helped deliver their babies!
Delia shares with Amelia.
"There are a lot of babies here - maybe we should stick together!"
This cutie's bib said "Chicks Dig Me." We kept a close eye on him.
Our hostess, Megan, and her baby Sasha. Megan and I were in the hospital at the same time and Sasha was born the day before Delia. After the group was over, Carmen and I realized that both of our husbands were gone for the rest of the day and we had no plans, so we went back to my house to have some more girl time!
"Hmmm....What should I play with next?"
"I love to eat my dresses!"
Rarely captured on film, and thought to be mythical, Delia's neck makes a brief appearance.
Amelia was being just precious, so we started taking pictures of her.
I got frustrated with indoor lighting and the harsh flash of my camera, so we went outside.
Delia too!
Carmen liked some of the pictures so much, we went ahead and put Amelia's announcement together on my laptop. The perks of spending a lazy afternoon with a graphic designer!
Today is Delia's 5-month birthday! She can't sit up on her own yet, but she likes sitting in her Bumpo chair and banging her hands on the tray. She can roll from her back to her side, then back onto her back. She is growing out of a lot of her clothes too. The other night she was fussy and just couldn't get settled down to sleep. She kept whining, kicking her feet out, and waking herself up. We finally figured out that her footy pajamas were too small and were keeping her from stretching out!
Love those cheeks! I think she may be getting a rash on them because we kiss them so much.
Delia and I framed this photo for Grady for Fathers Day. That is a girl who is going to get whatever she wants.
We spent most of Saturday afternoon out on our front porch watching a thunderstorm.
On Sunday Delia helped me put a few flowers in our flowerbeds.
Our friends Tim and Kailyn McCarley from Vicksburg are staying with us for a few days while Kailyn goes to softball camp at MSU.
We got Delia's jumper out for the first time today. She was able to hold her head up long enough to bounce around for quite a while!
Pretty cool!
This weekend Delia's Nana and Grandaddy came from Wilmington and her grandma Amanda came from Vicksburg to see her get baptized by Rev. Olin McBride at First Presbyterian Church in Starkville. She did very well, but since the 11:00 service was right around her naptime, she went to the nursery to take a nap after the baptism was over.
