Milestones for Madeline

We have noticed Madeline eyeing our food lately, and realized that it is about that time to be introducing her to a larger menu selection.  These are photos from her first time eating.  I bought the organic carrots at a farmers market, steamed them, tossed them in the food processor and froze them into baby portions.  Luckily she loves them!  I mean really loves them!  She was grabbing the spoon, trying to get more and more! 
Chloe even got a chance to feed her baby sister!  I just made her pureed butternut squash last night (week 2) and she also loved that!  So far no allergies, so we will stick to the squash this week and try maybe beets next week.  It will be interesting to see if Maddie will favor the same things Chloe did.  
 The second milestone for Maddie was watching her first Rose Bowl!  Go Ducks!



She loved watching them win!  Chloe was napping but got up for the last quarter.  She really likes the touchdowns, and also repeating EVERYTHING her Dad says, and also the way he says it...... His comments to the refs become her comments.... He edited himself pretty "darn" quick :)  It was pretty funny to hear a tiny little girl voice echoing Andrew's commentary though!  

Andrew also celebrated a milestone:  he joined the club of those of us missing our wisdom teeth.  If you can believe it, he never had any pain.  Doesn't that just kill you?  He took the pan pills for a few days, because the dentist told him it is way better to take them to keep the pain away than to chase it, but when he weaned off still no pain.  Some people have all of the luck.  I don't mean to make it sound like I wanted him to suffer, but come on, it was like he had a filling!  So not fair to the rest of us!  

By the way it is still snowing up here.  SO MUCH SNOW!!!!  That is the BBQ hidden under 3 feet of snow.  This is crazy!  I have to get a picture of our house too!  I will try to get it tomorrow!
