Lately.

I forgot to post some pictures with my Halloween post.  This first one is when we bought Elna her first pumpkin.

Our 2nd anniversary was November 7.  We went to our favorite Thai restaurant with Elna.  Marrying Brian was the best decision I’ve made so far.

Brian got me these flowers for our anniversary.  I love tulips.

Elna’s first experience with food.  Oranges.  Not sure that was the best first choice, but luckily she didn’t get a diaper rash.

And another attempt to eat solids.  I’m trying a method I learned from my friend Andrea, Baby Led Weaning (which isn’t really weaning, but teaching them to eat solids)  We’re still mostly nursing, but every once in a while I give her something finger sized to gnaw on.  In a few more weeks I plan to be more committed.

One of Elna’s favorite things is gnawing on the ties of our hoodies.  Sometimes she holds one (or two) in her mouth and sometimes she just sticks it there and lets her hands go.  We get a kick out of it!  She’s definitely teething—she has her 2 bottom teeth completely through.  They’re pretty cute.
