Cereal, Sleeping and Talking

Well, I have been eating cereal for about a week now and it seems to be helping me sleep a little better through the night. I'm sure you probably read that I have already slept through the night but that was only a one night thing. I like to keep Mommy on her toes. I figure, if she has one full night of sleep every couple of months or so she will be ok. I'm starting to like the cereal a little thicker and can't wait to try other foods!!
I also have started to "talk" more. I babble all the time now. It's just around the corner that I will say my first word. What will it be? Ma-ma? Da-da? Butters? Time will only tell.

I ate cereal for the first time!!

Aunt Sarah let Mommy and Daddy try some rice cereal for me since I am getting to be a big girl! It went ok for the first time. I think I got a whole spoonful down bwfore I got crabby. It was very strange to try. Before that I only had mommy's milk and a little formula! Pretty soon I'll be eating more baby food! Maybe I'll actually start sleeping through the night for once!! We'll see, though!

Our trip to Chicago Shedd Aquarium

I had such a great time at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago with Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Jim and Jonathan. There were so many fishies to see. There were HUGE ones bigger than my Daddy. Jonathan is so much fun to play with. He loved the fishies too. He tried to give them hugs and kisses but never was able to catch them! After the Aquarium we went to Navy Pier and walked around. I was sleepy, though. Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Sarah and Uncle Jim got hungry for dinner so we went to Ginos East for pizza. I tried sitting in a high chair but I hated it. I don't think I'm quite ready for that yet. While we were waiting for the pizza, John tried to hold my hand and play with me. He is so much fun!! Of course, both of us slept the whole way home. It was a long fun day. I can't wait until John lives here permanently and not just on vacation.

I got to meet my Great Grandma & Grandpa Munchalfen

4 generations of Munchalfen Family girls

This weekend Mommy and Daddy brought me to Aunt Mary's surprise 50th birthday party at Uncle Bill's house. It was really fun but a little scary. There were a lot of people there that I never met and some that I already had. Everyone wanted to hold me and at times it was just too much action at once. I was really excited because I got to meet my Great Grandma and Grandpa Munchalfen. They live in Florida so I hadnt been able to meet them yet since they are usually so far away. We even got a couple of pictures with me, Mommy, Grandma and Great Grandma...4 generations of Munchalfen girls. Aunt Joanne and Uncle John were there too. It was the first time I met them too. Lots of new people...what a big family I have!
