State Fair, Baby !!

Today we took Lorelei to her first Wisconsin State Fair. We were a little apprehensive about the crowds and how to manuever a stroller through everything. But, Lorelei was a complete angel the entire time we were there and Daddy learned very quickly how to use the stroller as a bulldozer. Mommy was quite impressed!

Latest Photo Shoot

Here are the best pictures from Lorelei's 11 Month photo shoot.

 

Happy 11 Month Birthday!!!

Another Fun Weekend!

We all had another fun weekend. On Friday, we got Lorelei's pictures taken again. They turned out beautifully and will be posted here asap. On Saturday, Mama volunteered to work at the Hartland Streetdance and Daddy went to a rock concert in Osh Kosh, so, Grandma Honey came out to baby-sit Lorelei for a few hours. They had a lot of fun playing and Lorelei got a nice ukuele concert.

Then on Sunday, we went to the Waukesha County Fair to see the animals and have some tasty food. Lorelei seemed to enjoy the animals for the most part and it was a very pleasant experience since it was her first fair.

But, even MORE exciting, was prior to leaving for the fair, Lorelei showed us that she can clap and we believe she even said 'clap'. Check out the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_zgBM80sOI&feature=youtu.be

New Foods

We have been trying some new foods lately. Some taste great and some, well....let's just say they're an acquired taste.

 

Before beets.

After beets.

I was nervous about peanut butter since it is suppose to be highly allergenic for babies and all the books I read said not to give babies to peanut butter until they're at least 12 months. Well, new studies have shown that if babies are introduced to these supposed high allergy foods, that, they won't be allergic to them in their childhood years or even later in adult life. Plus, with the okay from our doctor and the fact that Aaron and Jamie have no food allergies at all, we tried it.....and we LOVED it!

Circus Party!

We were invited to a party at our friend, Laurie Bebo's house. Laurie used to work with Grandma Honey and I (Jamie) have gotten to know Laurie through the YMCA. This was their annual summer party and also for their son's 5th birthday. It was a circus/carnival theme which not included a clown, face-painting, a dunk tank, water slide, and cotton candy--but, a live, full-sized tiger, lion, alligator, monkey, and more! We were very honored to have been invited and very excited to go. The only slight issue we had was when Lorelei decided to pull the wing of the parrot and he rightfully so squawked at her. I think she learned a very good lesson of not pulling wings of birds. :)

(This was before the wing pulling incident.)
