long week-end

Matt had Monday off, which meant a long, relaxing week-end for all of us. The weather was beautiful, affording us plenty of opportunities for outside play..... the next-door neighbors came over and helped push....

and Annely Blake is now feeding herself the bottle (which spells f-r-e-e-d-o-m for me!!)

and we're working on the pincer grasp and self-feeding.....a work in progress as the gag reflex is still strong and she's a little pickier than Will was at this age. As I've said before.... it's hard following after the easiest baby that ever lived :)

when all else fails, bananas and cheerios seem to go down without any trouble :)
