The big S...or how much Sophie does not like new things.

So on Thursday last week we finally decided to give Sophie her first taste of "solid" food! Due to the large number of food allergies including gluten intolerance on my side of the family we decided to skip over the traditional rice cereal and go for the yellow and orange veggies starting with yummy butternut squash.
Sophie responded with.........well you can see below:



Sorry if the video is kinda funny I had to edit it down as it was kinda long!!
Like all new or different things Sophie does not seem to really enjoy them at first! Fortunately she has since decided that she really does like the squash after all and is eating fairly well!

IKEA, IKEA I can see'ya your teetha!

We took our first family trip to IKEA last Sarturday!

There was a bit of crying, no napping and only one small husband-wife fight so overall it was a wonderful success!
And we got this for little pickle in preparation of the start of solid foods...

6 Months!

Half a year ago yesterday early in the wee hours of the morning we welcomed into this world our firstborn sweet little baby girl. What an amazing life transforming day that was. And how much has changed in just the space of six short months.

State of being.

So this is the state we are currently in.

If it looks like a tornado came through and piled up/scattered about all of our stuff you would be completely right.
We moved in Thursday of last week and thanks to the wonderful and greatly appreciated help of family and friends it was fairly smooth and painless....however due to the fact that we were/are not quite done with some of the work on the house we had to simply put things were they could go.
Which means we are currently playing a wicked game of furniture/stuff tetris. Fortunately I happen to be really good at tetris (seriously back in my prime I could make it to level 18 and above) and am spinning and placing the pieces hoping that a strait piece will come along soon.

Working on the house, packing, unpacking and the like have consumed us for the past month and a half and its not over yet, there is still much to do and nothing is truly complete (which is nagging at me) but I am loving that its ours, its amazing and its a HOUSE!
Oh and Sophiekins makes everything better....these were taken the day before we moved. She was playing (she does that now, like really play's) while I packed!
