We have teeth!!

Yep, my little girl has her first two teeth!! I've been trying to get a photo of them but no luck yet. So far she hasn't bitten me while eating...fingers crossed it stays that way! I was talking about it at my last La Leche League meeting and they helped ease my fears a little. Especially the women with 2+ year old children still breastfeeding.

Another fun milestone for Ellyana. She had her first bites of solid foods! Banana!! I was very reluctant to start solids with her. I wanted to stay her only source of nutrients for a little longer. But she was showing a lot of the signs....lunging at my food while I ate....sitting up alone....TEETH....chewing motions....so we decided to give it a try. So loves them! Next we are trying Sweet Potato. Here are some photos of her second time eating...

Oh and these are from the other night. Super cute!!

I took some Christmas photos of the kids today but I'm not very happy with them so I think I'll do another session later this week.

We went to Gymboree on Tuesday. I have a Leader Applicant meeting for La Leche League Friday so we went Tue instead. It was Family Gym day. So there were lots of little kids and some bigger ones too. Colton had a blast. He was very OCD that day though. Some one had taken the little foamy shapes and mixed them up. Colton was very angry. He got them and matched the shapes and colors back up and then guarded them for a good 5 mins! LOL And then, a boy had the oddasity to use the basket balls for something OTHER than basketball!! LOL He grabbed the ball out of the kids hand and put it in the hoop! I had many talks with him that day about not taking things out of people's hands. But he's learning and it's good to keep him interacting with other kids. This will be our last month there for a while though. With the weather getting worse I don't want to have to risk it.

I only have one LO to share today. This photo is 2 years old but I love it. It reminds me of many good things. It was taken at my Grammy and Poppa's house before my Grammy passed away. I took it with my FILM Canon camera! Look how little he was *sniff*!

My friend Andrea posted this on her blog and I want to do it as well. I think it's important to remember the good/positive things in my life. And seeing them on "paper" makes it that much better!
So, here are 10 Things I'm Greatful For....
1. My children. I have been blessed with incredibly beautiful, healthy children.
2. My husband. He knows me better than anyone. He knows all the good and bad things about me and still loves me for me. He's my best friend and my soul mate!
3. MY good health. One of my biggest fears is not being able to care for my family.
4. My husband's mechanical abilities! I'll never have to take a vehicle to a shop as long as he's around!!
5. My family. Everyone from my mom who is always there when I need her, to my sister in law who keeps me laughing and sane, to my mother in law who has taught me to sew and given us a roof to live under. Everyone in our family has helped us so much and has a very special place in our hearts.
6. Chocolate. Because on some days (like today) you might think you might just rip your hair out and chocolate saves the day! Come on, you know what I'm talking about!!!
7. My camera. I love that thing! It helps me capture those precious (and hilarious) moments in my family's life that I never want to forget.
8. Ellyana's snuggles. She will wrap her little arms around me and squeeze...sometimes it does hurt...but it's so very sweet!!
9. Colton's sense of humor. He cracks me up all day long with the things he says.
10. The fact that my children never ever go hungry.

Have a wonderful evening!!!!!!
