Be careful what you wish for.

All week we have been working with Nina to go from the tummy position to sitting up.
She finally got the hang of it yesterday! Go Nina!

Here she is seconds after I laid her down for a nap! Oh this should be fun.

Our first "baby"

Poor Abby the Cat. She was out first baby. We took pictures of her under the Christmas tree, gave her wrapped presents and watched her claw to open them. We even bought her a pink leash so she could sit with us outside in the summer. She's been great these 8 months Nina's been home. Abby lets Nina grab her ears and "pet" her front paws and head. She only meowed at Nina when she grabbed the tail. She's a good cat and we need to play her more attention. I need to stop calling her Nina by mistake.
Tonight we found her playing in Nina's play dome. I know if Nina was not already asleep she would have loved to go in there with her.

Last Synagis Shot

Today was Nina's last RSV shot for this year. She weighed in at 18.6. She's a big girl!

She's a totally different person this week in regards to eating. She's drinking her bottles and eating between 12-18 oz of purees. (we added a breakfast puree midmorning and a yogurt at dinner) Not sure what her deal was last week, but hopefully she will continue this blissful eating! I told ya I was fine Mom!!

A couple inches of snow...

Today there was about 3 inches of snow on the ground-- so far this winter we only received about 6- this was Nina's first time out in it. It was raining when this pic was taken, so we will let her play and experience snow tomorrow.

We had a play date with Adelina this past week, and she is an amazing kid! I can't wait till they get a bit older and interact more.

Still only two teeth, thought she was teething this week which would have explained the couple vomiting episodes, but who knows...We are just giving her more frequent, smaller meals, and all is well...I panic at the first vomit and think it's the worst...augh!

Baby Babble...Could it be Daa dee??

Mangia! Mangia!

Oh I am just thrilled that Nina loves pizzelles!!!

They are a favorite at our home! I make them for special people and special occasions...will probably be making them more often now that Nina's into them!

Happy 11 months!

We decided to bust Nina further out of her bubble and go to the mall and out to lunch! Woo! Friday was her very first trip to the mall and Saturday we met her Godparents out for lunch!

Nina's been experiencing new tastes:pizzelles( waffle cookies) and salmon. I was surprised she liked the salmon. She feed herself like a big girl too. We are going to be saying goodbye to her infant car seat soon...we have her big girl seat waiting in the wings...
