As you know, we’ve been pounded by snow in Seattle today, getting about half a foot of snow around our area!

 Snowmen for busy parents…

Karen got Lia ready by putting on her tiny shoes…

Now it was time to go outside, which was snowing!

And a little time in the Bumbo Chair…

And a few steps in the snow…

Unfortunately Lia didn’t seem particularly excited about snow, but one day she will love it!

The store was out of stock of rice cereal, so we attempted oatmeal instead, but Lia wasn’t too crazy about the substitution…

We were encouraging Lia to crawl, but unfortunately she had something else in mind…

This is Karen’s version of Peek-A-Boo with Lia!

Lia is 7 months old now. We noticed that she coughed occasionally and the coughing started 2 weeks ago. Also, she started to wake up crying every 3-4 hours at night. When we went to the 6 months check up and found out why she wasn’t herself lately……..

I hope that she will go back to her 9 hours sleep now since the two little white puppies are out. 😉

New milestone: Rejecting food. Butternut Squash…

Well, I’m not crazy about squash either…

Here’s Lia’s first experience with Broccoli…

I guess she liked it!

First of all, congratulations to Vivian and George for a beautiful wedding with many personalized touches this past Sunday! After the ceremony, we attended the reception.

Then there was the bouquet toss.  Stella was planning to bring Lia to the group, but she was very late in getting up to the group.  By the time she arrived at the back of the pack, the bouquet missile had already been launched into its trajectory and momentarily hit its target of Stella and Lia.  Lia’s head was covered in a layer of sparkles, and she immediately informed all wedding participants of her dismay at this unfolding of events, with a loud wail.

What an experience for a first wedding!

Here’s Lia’s first experience with solid food, the Rice Cereal!  Does she like it? Or does she not?
