Swingin'

Elsa enjoyed her first swing ride today.  We went to a park and enjoyed the perfect day.  She is a little tiny for the swing, but she is strong and can sit up.  I think we will add the swing to our list of activities to make Elsa happy.

My First Mother's Day

I am not the kind of person who usually gets caught up in holidays...except Christmas.  However, I really enjoyed Mother's Day.  Tim and I do not exchange gifts for many occasions and I was curious how Mother's Day would play out. 

He knows me so well.  He had my car professionally cleaned.  It was exactly what I wanted.  We also went to get Elsa's six month photos taken on Mother's Day.  I was so pleased with them, but it is easy.  She is such a happy girl who is quick to ham for the camera.

Teeth

Since recovering from her first significant cold, Elsa has made big gains in babyhood!  It started with the emergance of her first tooth.  We had a feeling that it would appear with all of the drooling and chewing.  Then, a few days later, another tooth appeared right next to the first. 

Elsa is like her mom.  She enjoys meal time.  She has let us know LOUD and clear that she wants more cereal.  We were following all of the baby books and taking it slow, but Elsa wants to take it fast.  We've tried oatmeal and rice for the past month.  She is a fan.  Today, we are trying bananas. 

I attempted to make some of my own baby food for Elsa.  We had success with peas and froze a bunch.  However, carrots were not as much of a success.  I'll try again.
