New Favorite Food

I enjoy seeing evidences of a true "Cinco de Mayo" baby in Callie Jean.  Her favorite meal (since being able to give her some solid foods from our plate) is Mexican!  Not only does she love sour cream and guacamole but her very favorite food is tortillas.  If she sees tortillas on the table she will squirm until she is handed one.  When she finally has one in her little hands, she tries to shove the entire thing into her mouth.  It is quite a site!  Of course, she doesn't know how to chew or swallow the tortilla yet but it sure is yummy to suck on!  Here is a picture of one of Callie's recent tortilla indulgences :)

First Christmas Tree

Since Kenny and I moved to Colorado 2 1/2 years ago, we have enjoyed going to the mountains to cut down our own Christmas tree.  It is one of our favorite things about celebrating the Christmas season in Colorado.  We were very excited to include our daughter in this tradition this year.  Unfortunately for Callie, it was a cool 15 degrees yesterday when we went to cut down our tree.  She didn't seem to mind getting bundled up to head out for our little adventure!  One day I will tell her all about my hike up the mountain in the snow with her strapped to my chest... it wasn't easy but it was fun!
