Messy Days

Roots got to help carve her first pumpkin yesterday. This was one time when procrastination really paid off, we got all of our pumpkins half-off at the garden since it was so close to Halloween. We got two big ones and a Rooter size one as well.



Here is Roots with her pumpkin. Her dad helped her with it. She liked to play with the seeds and pulp in the bottom of the pumpkin. I guess she liked the feel of it in her fingers. We had to make sure that she kept it out of her mouth though.



Here are the finished products. Although when I got home today I noticed that some squirrel or rabbit took apart part of the pumpkin that says "Root". Grrrrrr. Megan and Brielle have been enjoying the cool Fall days, but only Megster knows the winter that is about to come upon us.



Roots ate her first solid foods about 2 weeks ago. Here she is with her food pacifier (you put soft food in a little mesh thing and she gums it out little by little) and looking a little messy.



How can you not love that face. That is a little bit of sweet potato. It is her first solid food and she likes it. She attacks her spoon when it is in front of her face, but then again she does that with her stuffed penguin's beak as well.
