The Most Annoying Difference Between Liam and Eliza

Back when Liam started eating solids, I bragged about how easy the "messy baby food stage" was. Now I look at this picture and I can't even believe I had the guts to feed him in a white shirt:


But it's not even dirty! He has an orange goatee and a couple microscopic spills on his bib, and that's it!

Now check out Eliza at the dinner table tonight:


I just hope she learns how to swallow before she goes on her first date. And I hope the fact that she grabs the spoon every single time it comes toward her isn't the beginning of a life-long power struggle between us.

Zoo Babies

Schmath and I went to the zoo yesterday because they were advertising their cute new baby elephant, Zuri:



But they also ended up having a cute baby giraffe:


And cute baby tigers:


Plus, they had some pretty cute baby humans:

Squash

Today Eliza is six months old, which is awesome because it means I’m half way done breastfeeding. So we celebrated with her first real taste of baby food.

It might be really fun...


Or it might be really disturbing.

Still Taking After Her Brother

Turns out I’m pretty consistent at producing babies who suck on their tongues while lifting one arm.

I Heart Preschool

When I was pregnant with Eliza, I remember thinking life would only be hard until she was 5½ months old, and then Liam would start preschool.

Today Liam went to his first day of preschool, and those 2½ hours without him this morning were every bit as nice as I imagined they would be.
