And so it begins...

...the lifetime adventure with food!

Since I am so fond of reading cooking websites and blogs like this one and this one, I was excited that it was time for Mariah to taste her very first bite of "real" food. I think food is so fun and such an amazing part of God's wonderful creation!

We, of course (being the over-the-top-first-time-parents that we are), had to video this momentous occasion. Blogger is not allowing me to upload videos again today. I've been trying for several days but no luck...so a link it is.

Here it is!

*And please pay no attention to the mommy! I told David to NOT get me in the video because I was not presentable and my hair was...well, yucky...yes, that's the word. But he sort of forgot, I guess. Ugh!

Reading books (cont.)

Here is a little snippet of Mariah "reading" her book.

Loving books

Mariah got a bunch of really great books as gifts and I was thinking that I couldn't wait until she was old enough to enjoy them. I thought she was a bit too young yet but she already loves having stories read to her. It's great because I love reading out loud (even to David, which he thinks is weird but patiently tolerates anyway)!

Here she is enjoying her animal book that she got from her cousins:

Looks like she's at a really good part here...

I think she likes this one!
