Valerie did not want to try her cotton candy

Darin even tried to force it in her mouth

When I was changing her diaper, Darin slipped a piece in her mouth

Then she decided she liked it.

Darin even gave some to Nicholas

Dinner

Dessert

Nicholas 4 months old

He is 13 lbs and 24 in. tall, but not for much longer. He has started rice cereal and is doing great! He actually eats it, unlike my other kids who would not touch it. I can't wait to see how much more he likes the flavored food.

There once was a girl named Valerie

Who loved to make messes.

She decided to grab a donut, take one bite out of it, and put it on her plate. Then she repeated this with another donut, and another, and another, and another, etc.

I guess she wanted to get more cereal herself, but I had already cleaned her bowl from the table. "Good thing she can't reach the milk" my Dad said.
