I’m late, I’m late, I’m always running late. I guess that is how it goes with three kids.

I’m late in posting about Roya and her latest eating habits – two months late.

She started ‘solids’ back in April after we realized she was always hungry and was already drinking somewhere between 32-38 ounces of milk. We started with rice cereal, followed by oatmeal, then veggies and now some fruit. She certainly likes to eat.

Unfortunately she also likes to have her hand in her mouth while being fed so it makes it quite a messy ordeal.

Her latest trick is that she can now sit up on her own – and is loving it! We usually set her down in front of her activity gym with a basket of toys and she works her way through the basket… most often trying to taste everything. She also enjoys hanging out on the porch these days… often having her breakfast bottle there on the weekends.

Baby Girl is a pretty good sleeper at night but we are still working with the naps (and yes, I’ll take the evenings vs. the daytime).

Of couse sometimes she makes you think she wants to take a nap only to find she is ready to play.

As you can see, sometimes the wrong person ends up taking the nap.

Hello summer.

Hello farmer’s market.

Our veggies for the week. Yum.

Better hurry to your closest farmer’s market because the asparagus does not last very long.

Back in the day, say circa 2003, we thought it was cute that Thomas had his own play cell phone:

Of course, it is now 2011 and the above cell phone is considered to be old fashion and a brick. Miss Roya is too cool for that. She has an iPhone.

And she never leaves the house without it.

Like mother, like daughter.
