I don’t know what happened over the past couple of weeks since we returned from our trip, but time has blown by and I have completely failed in the blogging department. I am back – better late than never. I am going to try to keep this post light on text and heavy on photos or else I’ll never wrap this one up.
Big events in the past few weeks:
1. Grandma Lynda came to visit! Orli had such a great time hanging with her Grandma. She even showed us her newest trick – sitting up unassisted. Ok, she needs a little assistance still but she can sit unsupported for short periods of time without crashing over. Quite an accomplishment for the little monkey.

Checking out a new book with Grandma
2. Orli is eating food (and she is VERY good at it) (and we need some practice at feeding her)! So far, Orli has enjoyed the flavor delights of sweet potatoes, avocado, bananas and peas. Today it was carrots and she enjoyed them just the same as all the rest. It appears that she likes food just as much as her parents. The only snafu was with peas, which made her shudder on the first bite. After that, she loved them. Minor speed bump in the road of eating.
Mmmm sweet potatoes
... sweet potatoes take 2
... next comes avocado, yum!
delicious bananas
peas were scary at first, but now I find them tasty
3. Orli got a new excersaucer. Well, actually it is new to her, but we bought it at a rummage sale. It was in good condition and she loves it. I think she likes being upright and looking around rather than laying on her back all the time. She is getting pretty good at manipulating the toys. In fact, she has even figured out how to twist a couple of them out of their bases so that she doesn’t need to stretch to chew on them. Smart baby.

4. We had a great evening with the Samus and with parents to be the Aebys.

5. Lots of time at home enjoying Orli as she grows up faster than we can even keep track of.
