So far carrots have not gone over well.
The first night, she refused everything else on a spoon (even her cereal, which she loves) after the first taste of carrots.
Now she'll eat some, but with faces and spitting and gaggies.
She is pretty cute in orange though.

Got her hair up in a ponytail!
Does that make her ears look bigger?
Grandmama came to visit!
We only got her for about 24 hours, but what a wonderful 24 hours it was!
Knitting, shopping, pedicures, and lots of snuggles and smiles.
Xaris loves her grandmama.
Other brief news/updates...
We had our big cranberry apple pie fundraiser on Wednesday.
Just imagine 40 kids making 80+ pies in just under 1.5 hours.
And then the big mess that needs to be cleaned up!
It's usually loads of fun though, and this year did not fail!
Assembly lines are set!
Apple peeling station
Filling station :)
We were in the shadows, but we got a quick family shot (in between my pie-making)
I went to breakfast with Kaitlin yesterday. She's moving back to WA state in December...jealous? Why yes I am! But wishing her well, and I'm grateful for the job, opportunities, home, etc. that we have here.
I'm also grateful for a weekend! A Friday-Saturday where I don't have to work (I don't usually, but October had a few random weekend events), and where I'm not sick (like last weekend), so I get to enjoy it! Today I played with my girl, cleaned the house, stripped her diapers, got allergy tested (yes, I win, I'm allergic. Mostly to grasses and weed pollens), and made aji and cooked dinner (two days in a row is really good for me about now). I like to cook, but the planning and preparing takes more effort than I give. So, I've decided to try harder, and the result is I have meal ideas planned and groceries for dinners for the next 2 weeks. We'll see if it works. I'd like to know your tricks if you have any!
And, a closing shot. Playing in her crib before her bath.
