Vegas and Baby Food

Over the weekend, George and I met up with our California friends, Sergio and Andi, in Las Vegas. It was a really quick trip. We left early on Saturday morning and came home on Sunday evening. We had a great time catching up with them, even though it went by super fast! It's kind of crazy to think that it's been over 2 years now since we left California. A lot has happened since then -- we bought a house, they got married, they had another baby, we had a baby! Anyway, here we are with them after dinner in the Paris hotel (where we stayed)...

George and I drive up. Vegas is obviously not an ideal place for kids so Madeline stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Lucas. We actually have a trip booked to Washington, DC in mid May to celebrate my graduation and we are planning to take Madeline -- any advice for traveling with a 6 month old? 

 Speaking of Madeline, here she is! She would love to be crawling, but still can't seem to get those knees underneath her. Notice that she has lost a lot of that hair! :) 

I finished the quilt last week in time for Terrisa to bring it to Atlanta! I loved the work that the quilter did. And actually, it isn't quite done...Lindsey and Terrisa need to hand stitch the backside of the binding still (I wasn't able to do that before they left on Friday).

Madeline is officially eating "real food" now! I bought some vegetables at the Gilbert Farmer's market last weekend and made her some baby food. It was actually very, very easy to do and much cheaper than buying baby food. I froze it in little ice trays and now we just pop one out and heat it up at dinner time. But WOW, she is such a messy eater!! The food gets all over her...and us :)
