My little flower

Random Pictures...

Since I am a little behind, I have a few pictures I wanted to share that I am going to just put together in one post...

Dont you just love it?!   She has started sleeping like this a lot more here lately and I think its even more adorable because of the "Ruffle Butts" outfit she is wearing! haha

This was after our neighbor, Addie Gail's birthday luau

At Addie Gail's birthday party...it down poured so the festivities were taken inside! :(

Practicing sitting

She is always trying to show me her feet!

Peek-a-Boo!

Playing with the Bunny rabbit her Nana gave her for Easter

Sitting in the buggy for the first time

This was actually taken several weeks ago but since I couldnt upload pics I am just now putting it on here.  She sat in the buggy for the first time when we went to Sams a few weeks ago.  The picture makes me laugh everytime because her eyes are HUGE!  I dont know if Sams overwhelmed her or if she was just that excited! 

Loving the pool

Sippy Cup and new foods

We recently started let Anna Riley practice with a sippy cup.  She did really great the first time and held it herself and everything and now she wants me to hold it again.  But she is getting the hang of how to drink out of it. When we were at the pool the other day she was wanting my big jug of water rather than her sippy cup and it had a big straw in it.  I finally gave it to her thinking she would chew on it but she drank out of the straw! Since then she has done it a few more times with the smaller straws. 

      We have tried a few new foods.  I said I was only going to try a couple more but she is doing so good with everything and she is ALL about our food and really gets mad if we are eating and she cant have anything! So we have let her try several things.  Plus we have so many good fresh fruits and vegetables around the house right now I hate not to let her have some! She still hasn't had jar baby food (not that I am against that for anyone that does that but I just haven't had the need to give it to her yet).

      So far she has had brown rice cereal, bananas, strawberries, pineapple, peaches, avocados, sweet potatoes (a BIG favorite), green beans.  So far she has liked them all.  And the child eats as if it were her job! So I am kind of glad we started solids because if not I have a feeling I would have called the doctor anyways because she would have never been satisfied off of just cereal like the doctor wanted us to do. 

Trying Grannys green beans we had canned...wasnt sure she was going to like them at first

It was her first green vegetable.

OH YEAH! Give me more!  She loves them as much as we do!

That was Mmm GOOD!

This picture was after she had avocados.  She also loved them.  I think its one of her favorites.  Riley seriously eats them on EVERYTHING and I buy a lot of them every week so its a good thing she likes them too!

Weekend in Berry

The night after my Granny's birthday celebration, Anna Riley and I spent the night with my Mom and Dad so I wouldnt have to keep waking her up.  Riley was planning on going to UAB the next day, so he went back home.  However, she apparently was so excited to be at the grandparents that sleep was not in her agenda and she stayed up and played until almost 11! (bedtime is always 8 and she lets u know it usually!)  She was having so much fun with them though.  She crashed as soon as we went to bed and slept great!  The next day we took Granny to eat at Cyrpress Inn after church.
