I haven't updated for a while because I've been busy cooking and baking to get ready for visitors arriving next week, dv. Since life (and having guests) is a little more complicated with a baby (to put it mildly :)), I decided to make & freeze everything ahead of time. So far, I've made about 25 servings of King Ranch Casserole, 25 servings of Broccoli Chicken Casserole, Broccoli Cheddar Soup, Corn Chowder Soup, Avegolemon (sp?) Soup, Chocolate Peanut Butter Squares, Crispies, 7-Layer Bars, Raspberry Oatmeal Bars, and 8 quiches. I still need to make Lasagna, Lemon Squares, Fruit Loaf, Baked Oatmeal, several breakfast casseroles, Mushroom Soup, and some other things. :-P So yeah, I guess we'll have plenty of food.
Shona is 7 months now, and doing all sorts of crazy new things. Her latest thing is to pretend she's going to sleep, and as soon as I walk out of the room, she flips onto her tummy and starts playing. Yesterday I had to go in and lay her back down 10 times. And during one of her nap times today I had to do it 8 times. She says "mama" and "dada" and "'ungry" (her version of "hungry"). She sits up really well and is working on learning to crawl. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth...but she usually goes backward instead of forward. :)
There are probably a lot of other random things I was going to say, but I don't really have time right now. So here are some photos to make up for it. ;)
A rose on my rose bush :)
She scooted backward under the couch
She really liked the chocolates Rachel sent me
