New Foods and 4th of July

Well, we started tying solid foods with Katie and she does NOT like solids! We tried one tiny bite of banana and one tiny bite of plum. With both of them, she gagged then threw it up. Ha! I guess she's not totally ready for solids yet. I'm glad though. I already have so much pureed foods in the freezer for her and now I still get to use all of that.
We tried the sweet potato flavor of the gerber graduates "puff" cereal stuff. She doesn't like those either, but she'll at least swallow those and keep it down. So we're taking it slow. Still doing purees and giving her just a couple of cereal bites with lunch and dinner.
We had a great 4th of July. Andy's family came to visit us. Mimi (Andy's mom) made a really cute 4th of July tutu for Katie. We had fun taking pictures. It's a lot harder now though because she wants to crawl everywhere and won't just sit in one spot.
In the background of this one you can see the awesome toybox Mimi brought for her. It fits perfect between the pack n play and fireplace. Now we can keep all of her living room toys in there instead of having 3 baskets all over the room!
Saturday night we walked to the end of our street for fireworks. They were lighting the city fireworks less than a half mile from our house so we were able to see them really well. Katie was totally fascinated with them (even though they didn't start until 10:15!)
On Monday we got to go hang out with Aunt Mindy, Memaw, and Papaw. It was so nice to see them. But I didn't get any pictures on that day.
