Almost 6 months!

I can't believe that Elaine is almost 6 months old!  She has certainly done a lot of growing and it's been so fun to watch her learn new things. 

This week, Elaine got pinkeye for the first time.  She was a little more mopey than normal, since she and I both now have colds.  Luckily Eric is in the clear, but he could be a week or so behind... hope not!

Here is Elaine sleeping on my chest - a must-do for her when she's not feeling great.  And a snuggly loving time for mommy.  :)

Here is Eric being Mr. Fixit.  He's been knocking it out of the park lately getting things around the house done and fixed.  The high winds did a number on our storm door, blowing it wide open and bending the door parts, so he got it all fixed! 

I have been going to town using my baby food maker.  So far, I've made sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, peas, apples, bananas, and pears.  Just freeze in ice cube trays and empty into ziploc bags, and you're in business!  It costs at least half of the price of Gerber baby food (depending on the food item you can save much more) and there are no preservatives, so we feel better about what she's eating.

Looking forward to having Monday (MLK Day) off and getting Elaine's 6 month photos!
