Little Chef

9:00 AM- getting started early!
One day Dominic woke up and thought, "I'm going to make dinner and dessert today!"  He looked through the cook books to find the recipes he wanted.  He decided to make homemade pizza and fresh baked cookies.  He measured and mixed and baked ALL. DAY. LONG.  Dinner was finally ready at five.  The pizza was DELICIOUS!  He was proud of his hard work.  I wonder when he'll cook for us again? 
Sprinkle on some cheese.

Fianlly ready!

Proud boy.

Why is 6 Afraid of 7?



So, why IS six afraid of seven?...Because "seven ATE nine"!
I know you are now rolling with laughter, but truly this joke is most fitting.  This post is about Winry during her seventh and eighth months, heading into her ninth.  What a big girl!


So this is where we last left off, at sixth months.  She was just figuring out this sitting up business.  She had tried her first bites of food.  She acted like she wanted to get some teeth, but to no avail.










Then, as we entered into the seventh month, she was sitting like a pro.  Some of the foods that she loved eating were red pepper, cantaloupe, and steak.  (Even with no teeth she could gnaw on a strip of steak like a determined 80-year-old woman who lost her dentures!)

 When she was seven months old, she made this silly face and I caught it on camera.  Pretty exciting, I know.

 When she was seven months old she sat up in the cart like a big girl for the first time.  She's taking this new responsibility very seriously.
Eight months. 


Nine months.
One of the best things about Winry is how happy she is and how much she loves her friends and family.  She's a talkative, silly girl.  Her current "trick", that I love to see the most, is turning pages in a book while I read to her.  What a smarty pants!  She's also been very intrigued by cause and effect situations, like turning the light switch on and off.  In other exciting news, she's been attempting an army crawl when things are REALLY enticing, AND she finally has some teeth!  She has two already through and four more on the way. 

Eating chicken and sweet potatoes.  She loves her food!
