Nothing Every Day

Amity is 100%, an all-out, eating machine! She will try anything... fruit, veggies, dirt, you name it! Today we had a random mix of leftovers and delicious greek food and this was the result... I guess in a weird sort of way, I take some pride in letting Amity experience food. I don't really want her to develop a habit of playing with it, sure, but I DO want her to feel the freedom to eat it with her own hands and get a little messy. There's always time to clean up later and bath is one of her favorite things anyway, so we'll just make that a part of our day. She wasn't so sure about the hummus at first... but just wait... :) Spreading out some grape tomatoes with her hummusy hands. Soooo GOOD! How do I look Mom? What? There's no more raspberries? This is my greedy, sneaky, creepy face! That was delicious... now clean me up Momma! :)

We spent time with all three families this year at Thanksgiving. It was a beautiful week having Aaron home and putting most of the chaos of his schoolwork aside to just "be" with us. We started off our family time with the Poppengers over at Jay & Jen's house. Jane, John, and the boys were there which was great eye candy for Amity! She watched them play, rough house, and giggle all day long. They helped her practice crawling and even picked up a fun snail toy for her while they were out and about. Then we headed to the Rusho house. Mike and Kara are now engaged, so I had to check out the ring and it was great having some quality family time with them! Needless to say, we ate quite well over that week! Amity loved sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce!
