On your mark, get set, GO!!!

Somebody is getting closer to crawling!  She's done a few face-plants in the process, but she's not deterred!  Today she was practicing her sitting and she did a great job, sitting for about a minute without support.  So far sitting has not been her strongest sport...she's ready for crawling or sprinting.

Also, she's jumped into the world of eating solid food!  She started with injera (Ethiopian bread), but now eats (and loves) oatmeal, banana, applesauce, rice, curry, and cheerios.  Next we need to work on vegetables so she doesn't get too used to sweet foods.  Maybe tomorrow we'll do some green beans or peas!

Mercy's great-grandma Rose Ann knitted her a beautiful sweater that arrived in the mail yesterday!  We love the colors and the soft yarn!  Mama Kristi and her sisters all had sweaters from Grandma Rose Ann when we were little girls, and Charlotte had a couple when she was younger also.  I can't believe how little she was in these pictures!  That little baby face is all grown up now!
