Sunday:

We went to church today, and Annabelle had her first Sunday morning in the nursery. Midway through the service (which is only an hour or so) I had to go check on her and peek through the window to see what she was up to. She was having her diaper changed at that time, so that's a good sign that the worker was cognizant of that. I think she did fine though. She was the only baby in there, and the nursery worker has been just itching to keep Annabelle so she can hold her the entire time. She said Annabelle napped about half an hour, which I didn't really even expect that.

For dinner that night, Annabelle had butternut squash for the first time. At first I just put it on the table infront of her and she smashed it between her fingers, squished it in her hand and was just amazed and curious of the texture for a while. Then she moved it to her mouth. I think total, all that got in her mouth and ingested was about a quarter of a smalls squash, but, adding all that was on the floor, was about a full half a squash, maybe more. I finally wised up and put her high chair tray on for her to finish. After that, she drank 7 or 8 ounces of milk and hit the hay without a peep. I definitely think she is on the solids now. I forgot how much of a clean up it is, and am not looking forward to that, but excited for her to be growing and discovering new things.

When we got home, I finally was reminded to tell Phillip to take a picture of us, since there are so few pictures of me and the kids since I'm the one usually doing the picture taking...or Liam, now that I think about it, he does on occasion sneak the camera all to himself a click a few pictures of me and Annabelle. If you look closely, you will see she still have some butternut squash-smear in her little nose still.
