Here are some much belated snow pictures. We had 4 inches! Anya enjoyed for a short while. We had her halfway dressed in a snow suit that no longer fits and half dressed in her buzz attire. She will hate us later for dressing her so, but she was warm.

Solids are not going as well as we had hoped. We started at 8 months on the nose, and the first effort was the best attempt so far. For 1.5 weeks we tried every day, but she is a pro at avoiding food. She shakes her head, closes her mouth as tightly as possible, and if a morsel happens to get in, she spits (or spews) it out. We took a little break and are now just trying again. She willingly took 3 bites yesterday.

This happy picture was taken after I stopped trying to feed her, of course.


Once Anya figured this one out, I could no longer work in her room (put away clean laundry, etc.) while she was going down for a nap. She would peek out and cry if she saw me.
