Claire's first solid meal!

Just had to share these pictures. Claire had her first solid meal and apparently, judging from the pictures, seemed to like it quite a bit.

There is just nothing like a smiling, well fed baby!

Tiki Party

Just had to share a funny story. Went to my sister-in-law's End of Summer Tiki Party and had a really fun time. Got to see my nieces and nephew and two great-nieces. This is where it gets funny.
I was holding Katie (10 months old) and she apparently loves to eat. So, I gave her a cracker. In the meantime some people came up to me and we were talking and I wasn't really paying attention to Katie because she was being so good and I was just holding her. I left the party and thought, "gee the bugs were really out tonight, I am itching all over, especially my boobs!" When I got in the car on the drive home (and thank heaven I was alone!) I realized that I could finally scratch the itchy spots. This is when I found a cracker, broken up, chewed on and pretty much just crumbs in my bra!
I laughed out loud as I was driving along the highway, pulling crumbs out of my bra and throwing them out the window.
I think next time I hold Katie, I'll wear a turtleneck!

What will it be?

Kate went to the doctor's yesterday for her first ultrasound. Doc said everything looks great. Big kudos to Dave because he didn't even try to find out what sex the baby is. If you guys know Dave, you have to know what a huge accomplishment that was for him. He is certainly one of the most excited Dads to be that I have ever met! At Kate's dinner on Sunday, the opinions were certainly mixed. Initially everyone thought she would have a girl. Now, it's about 50/50. I am still sticking with a girl and I will most certainly keep you posted! My excitement level is pretty much right behind Dave's!

Here's a couple of pictures of Kate.
