How Do You Like THEM Apples?

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and guess that she'd say, "NOT SO MUCH."

Happy One Year, Mi Amor!!

Monday, September 29th, Alex and I celebrated our one-year anniversary! Both of us had planned to do something special for the other, but the week before we decided that with the lack of funds and the stress of all these big changes taking place, we'd just do something simple and relaxing. We spent the day as a family and then after Arabella went to sleep, the two of us made a romantic dinner together. We opened a bottle of wine from our wedding and got drunk off of one glass! We are now officially lightweights.
After dinner we talked about our life and our dreams and then we danced like circus performers to "The Wine Song" by The Cat Empire. For a night completely improvised, it was spectacular!

Gooey Faced Arabella

Arabella had her first bite of rice cereal this week. She seems to like it, and knows what she's supposed to do, so on we go! Of course, the consistency was nearly liquid, and for the first feeding I used my finger, so it wasn't too hard to figure out! A few days later, I used a silicone spoon and she opened up wide when it came dripping towards her. I think we'll try either apples or bananas next. It's so fun to see the expressions she makes.Sorry, I don't have any of those pictures with the food all over her face. So far, she has proven to be quite the tidy eater.
