My first taste







We finally broke down and started rice cereal. I have been wanting to wait until she was 6 months to the day since that is what I teach as the new recommendation at WIC but she seemed soooo ready. Poor girl was salivating every time she watched us eat.
We have so much fun feeding this little fireball. She gets so wound up, starts flapping her arms, spinning her angles, grunting for more, grabbing the spoon from us and gulps it down. Needless to say, she is so ready for something new in her life ;)You would think we had starved the poor girl by the way she goes after this yucky stuff.
Mallory is so much fun. We can't wait to see what she will do next. Today at church I was in the foyer with her and there was a little 2 year old boy out there running and jumping around. Mallory found this quite humorous and laughed hysterically at this little boy for over 20 minutes. Her laugh was louder than I had ever heard. She was seriously busting a gut laughing and could hardly took a breath. I was crying because I was laughing so hard just watching her laugh. I love how children have no worries, live each day as it comes, live life to the fullest, and need their mamas! Being a Mom is the best!
Countdown... 3 more days of work :)

One quick tangent...
Heck with this "new" stuff. I want my "old" stuff. We got a new computer... now it is not compatible with our webcam. I can't attach photos (only files) to emails, and our new camera program is not compatible with the computer either. Then, we got a new TV, and of course, our lovely bunny ears pick up less channels than before! I spent 1 hour Tuesday night with Porter running cords through the house, around our nativity scene, out the door, up on our lamp, etc, trying to get our bunny ears to pick up the Biggest Loser Finally. Oh, and another thing.. we bought a new camera just before having Mallory and because it has more megapixels all the cute videos I record on it (like the one of her eating cereal) is too large of a file to attach to email or the blog, so what good is it?
So, I want my old stuff back! It at least works!
I will stop complaining, life is good :)
