Goodbye Aunt Karen Hello Rice Cereal

Aunt Karen and Noni are currently on a plane. We took them to the airport this morning. :( We were SO sad to see Aunt Karen go after having had a wonderful three weeks with her. I wished I could have just tied her up and made her stay here. :) The girls enjoyed her so much.

We took middle name pictures yesterday. Four generations with the same middle name!

Noni and Bug are a little behind in the naming. Although if we went to Texas we could get a bigger group of family together with their middle name. :)

Boo and Aunt Karen really hit it off. Maybe Boo knew she was a namesake. :) They are sure going miss each other!

I wanted Aunt Karen to be here for one of Boo's big "firsts" so we bumped up the "first food" by a week. I know most people give their babies food early on, but I've been waiting till the last minute since Bug's weight-gain problems all started when we introduced solids. I'm hoping that Boo's will transition will be easier. Here's a little video of the first bite. :)

Daddy got her started and then big sister wanted to give it a try. I think I'm going to have to train Bug to feed Boo! It will save me lots of time to let her do it. :)

Not exactly thrilled with the first tastes. :)

I love her expression here. She looks like she's thinking, "What the crud are they putting in my mouth??"

"Okay, maybe it's not so bad."

"Then again..."

"Aww, I'm just teasin'. It was pretty good."

The next morning she was a little more interested in it.

Or maybe it was just b/c Auntie Karen was feeding her. :)

Have fun in Texas Noni! We'll see you soon!

We'll miss you SO very much Aunt Karen! Come back to us soon!

P.S. Can anyone tell me why all my outdoor photos have a bluish tint to them? These have even been edited with the "warmify" button and the rice cereal ones turned out very blue. I'm not sure if it's a setting or what. Any ideas?
