and enjoy Friday!
Check out Darla in her GAP shirt and headband sure to offend her great-grandmother!

Yesterday Darla reached into my bag of chips, pulled out a chip, licked it with slobbery gusto and then CrUnCh!!! She ate half of it: So I am thinking we will be moving to solid foods.

June 17th , Darla Update

Darla is scooting around on her belly a lot. Actually she has been “crib swimming” since I brought her home, but now she moves with purpose . Only after she reaches her destination: she assumes the crawling stance.

She enjoys Similac, I tried switching her to Enfamil but it makes her poops stink and she pukes it up…so we will switch back. And did I mention it gives her gas that sounds like the mating call of a Bull Elephant?

She babbles and screeches, but mostly laughs at everything.

I think she knows how to reach around to my neck and pull out the hairs there. When I have freshly washed hair – she tries to eat it.

She can sit up by herself for a short period of time and  her eyes are still dark blue, and hair is getting thicker and darker.

She recognized folks and looks us right in the eye.

she is a joy

Don’t these look yummy?

I am sending Jackie, The Bonus Kids, DC, and Ric to Golf and Stuff for MiniGolf and a BBQ. When they get back, maybe Darla and I will have made these yummy treats!
