Baptism, carrots, etc

Hello again, everyone. These past few weeks have certainly been busy! Calla has been baptized since the last blog post, and is now a Lutheran. K has added her to the mailing list. Ha.

Lots of people made it into town for the baptism, and we thank them for their willingness to travel to Chicago in what turned out to be a pretty good snow storm. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, though, despite the weather.

Here are some recent pictures:




Calla smiles at Daddy



Then she laughs at him...



Happy baby.




Our big baptism group. Thanks for coming, everyone!

OK, this next sections requires some intro text. As you have seen in other posts, Calla is now eating some solid food. Whenever we introduce a new taste, I break out the camera to catch the reaction. Today's blue plate special is carrots.

Mom softens up the palate with a little oatmeal cereal...


Then the carrots come in!



Here's what she thinks of carrots... :-)

That carrot picture is hilarious! I still do that if I am suprized by carrots. Carrot cake? Don't even get me started....

That pretty much sums up how I feel about mushy carrots.
Since she's now a Lutheran, will you be introducing Jell-O salad and coffee into her diet?

Carrots?! Paige started on bananas & avocados (mashed of course), and she still loves these faves. Now we serve them chunky-style.
