Paparazzi, Dinner and Avacado

Last night my parents, Joy and Delilah came over for a comfort food dinner. A delicious chicken and green bean casserole with warm flaky rolls and salad. It was warm and cozy in our house. The main purpose for this dinner was so Maggie and Delilah could have their pictures taken in their matching outfits that my Aunt JeanAnne had made from Nordstroms. They were a hit. Joy, Linda and I were like the Hollywood paparazzi with our cameras.

The girls were hilarious. You would think they would have put up a much bigger stink considering they had three cameras and an iphone pointed at them, flashes going left and right and me holding up the "whozit" in an attempt to get them to look at the cameras. Rarely did they both look at the camera at the same time and it was almost impossible to get them to smile at the same time. But we were having a great time. After about ten minutes Maggie started yelling at Delilah. Delilah is two months younger than Maggie and she was using Maggie as a support to sit up straight. I think our little Magpie started to get annoyed because she was looking at her and screaming. Delilah didn't bat an eye. Just kept her eyes on Mommy and waited until we were done.

Maggie also got to try her first bit of solid food. The pediatrician told us avacado is a good food to start with so we thought we would give it a shot. Steve mashed it up and I tried to feed it to her. She wasn't really having any of it. She pretty much put it in her mouth, rolled it around, and spit it back up. Afterward I read how you are supposed to introduce solid foods to your baby and realized that I had done it completely wrong. Oh well, parent fail number..... oh, I have lost count at this point.
