Toast is not a food group.

Well, that depends if you are talking to Halle or not. She loves toast. Plain, whole wheat toast. She will chose it over any other food. You have to watch her though because I think she has some kind of competition going on where she sees how many pieces she can stuff in her mouth and a) continue chewing and b) continue breathing. I have learned never to set the bowl down and turn away. I think the toast eating may be a timed competition too. I swear, five seconds and she can cram 8 cubes in there. I am brushing up on how to help a choking infant. It's not like we starve her!! I don't understand the fascination....

Chinese New Year!

We celebrated our first Chinese New Year with our local FCC chapter. It was great. There was entertainment, food, dancing and all the kids looked wonderful in their Chinese outfits. Only about twenty people called Halle a boy....I only spoke to probably 25. We really need to do something about getting some hair and then some clips and pony tails. Yeesh! I will get over it in time...

The "Scared Face"

This is what is known as the 'scared face' around here. I don't know if it stemmed from my horrified expression at the idea of doing another load of laundry or Alan's dislike for 'less than optimal' diaper changes. Whatever the source of this face, a picture alone cannot do it justice. In person, our little person, pulls this face, usually scrunches up her fists and shakes. It's pretty funny. And pretty scary if you are not prepared!! Grandma thought she was choking the first time Halle did this to her!
