Lizzi's first food... RIce Cereal

She did like spit the cereal on her hand and then suck it off her fingers. It was really cute to watch!

Not really sure what to do with the cereal.

Hey this stuff isn't that bad!

We gave Lizzi her first taste of rice cereal this week. She seemed to really like it. Once she got the hang of how to get it off the spoon. For the first half of the bowl most of the cereal ran out of her mouth and she caught it with her hands and she licked it from there. Guess we will wait to work on those table manners!  :)

I can't believe how fast my little girl is growing up. I am just in awe of how wonderful it is being a mom. I can't say enough how blessed I am to finally be a mom!

North Dakota!!

After the long wait and anticipation the day had finally arrived! We are headed on vacation! And for the first time in a long time and a first for Brad and me, a real vacation. Not one that we hop in the car and drive a few hours to reach our destination. We were flying to North Dakota to see Brad's little brother TJ graduate.

Waiting in Denver for our flight to Bismark.

Waiting in Denver for our flight back to Salt Lake. This is right before a major freakout that I am sure had a lot of people concerned with flying with a baby on the plane. Once we were on the plane and moving she was fine!

I was a little nervous to fly with Lizzi. Not that she wouldn't be a good baby but all the STUFF that has to go with! Oh my goodness! I think for a 5 day trip we did really well packing 2 suit cases 2 carry ones (one of which was the diaper bag) a stoller and car seat. Not too bad! Of course I did for get to pack jammies for Lizzi so I had to have Brad's mom take me to Wal-Mart to get some.  There was NO way I was going to be able to fine Wal-Mart let alone my way back home. There's no mountains to let me know which direction I am facing! I don't know how any one can find their way around there!!

This was a nice relaxing trip. I really only had to feed change and put Lizzi down at night. All the other times she was playing with family. She slept great the whole time we were there. Including her dad! Seems like I was the only one who was up. She'd go right back to sleep after her 7am feeding. Dad never even woke up! Lazy fella! What does he think this is a vacation or something?

Playing in mommy's lap one of the few times I actually had her!
