Rice Cereal for Tommy & a couple of Ellie pics

Tommy turned 6 months old on Sunday! To celebrate, we fed him his first solid food on Monday for lunch - delicious, super flavorful (ha!) rice cereal. He seemed to enjoy it, and big sister Ellie Mae had a terrific time feeding him! His head, though more controlled by the day, is still a bit wobbly when he sits upright, so the combination of him bobbing around and trying to grab the spoon made for a messy adventure! It's hard to believe that he is already old enough for real food...time sure flies!

This one is for Grammy Gayle -- Ellie in her new butterfly dress.

Cool Aunt Beth stayed with us about a month ago and Ellie watched her put on makeup in the morning. Beth and I ate our breakfast of homemade cinnamon rolls shortly after and noticed that Ellie was mysteriously missing from such a treat. Upon investigation, I found her through the closed door of our bedroom, though the closed door of our bathroom and in the very back corner behind the toilet with my makeup bag and all of my makeup surrounding her. She said that she wanted to be pretty like "Cool Beff"! She chose my mascaras, eyeliner, and an old container of cream eyeshadows, specifically the dark brown and dark purple colors, to accomplish this goal. So funny!
