$2 Goodwill Chalkboard

I really love these pictures, but I am also showing them to show you the huge chalkboard I got at Goodwill for $2!!! It was a steal. I am usually jealous of the finds at Goodwill my friends happen upon, but this time I was pleased with MYSELF! I think Piper, and hopefully future siblings, will enjoy this for years to come!

Messy eater

The day after Daniel's birthday, because the cheap festive decorations are still up. I just thought these pictures really captured how messy she was even after she was 7 months old!

Daniel's Birthday - 5/11/11

I took some shots of Daniel and Piper on his birthday while I was cooking dinner. I can't remember what I fixed for him... something delicious, I'm sure. ;) That's why I need to be more consistent in my blogging! HA! I thought these pictures of them were cute. I especially like the one of their profiles, because I think it shows just how much she looks like him.

Pictures BEFORE baby Tucker's shower

 I am SO bad about taking pictures once we GET to an actual event. I always take them of Piper before we leave, because I want to document her growth... but I am not realizing that I need to get better about taking pictures once we arrive to the destination. OOPS. ANYWAYS- here are some pictures BEFORE we went to the CUTEST shower for baby Tucker! It was an outdoorsy shower theme. I need to borrow some pictures so y'all can see it. I put Piper's overalls on to go with the theme.

Going to visit the Lees

This was before we went to visit our friends - twin Lee girls! They have a boy, two twin boys, and then they had twin girls! They are VERY special to us. I thought Piper looked cute. She has a weird bump on her face, though? It was way past the baby acne stage, not sure what it was, but it went away within the week. Of course, we were having so much fun there, we forgot to take pictures. BOO!

Food Issues

As I may or may not have mentioned on here, Piper had a TERRIBLE time with solids. We started trying rice cereal, per the Dr. Denmark "diet," at 12 weeks. She refused, I thought it was because it was new, and didn't let it bother me that day. But then, she refused again.. and again... and again. And for months and months, she would not allow solid food to go into her mouth. After trying cereal and fruit forever, I decided to try vegetables, and she started to get the hang of it. She really loves sweet potatoes and carrots. Hence, the orange tint in her complexion. :) She still has major eating issues - she has a hard time with table food, homemade baby food, and the 3rd stage baby food. But she is making progress, and is gaining weight JUST FINE. :) She REALLY loves bread, like her momma. And at her birthday party this weekend, she had no trouble getting sugar down for the first time... like her momma!
