25-27 weeks, Eliana has her first food

 Am I a big girl or what? First ride in my running stroller without my car seat. Pretty cool too; the seat adapter turned into a tray holder for my toys!

 Ready to check out my new seat!

 Hello Mommy...I am having fun with my toys. Eliana has been playing with her toys on a blanket instead of her activity mat lately. The activity mat started to seem small, and she didn't seem as interested.

 Yowsa. I didn't know by diving forward, I would end up on my tummy. I would like to sit up again, Mom.

 Seriously Mom? Why do I have to sit here??

 Chillin with Papa. Eliana enjoyed a different view of her chair.

 Eliana has been making some new sounds lately. She is "talking" much more, and Mom and Dad have been enjoying listening to her. Mom caught some on video, so we will see if we can figure out how to make the videos work better before posting it. Ellie is mainly saying ya ya ya ya, and ba ba ba ba...Very cute!

 Later in the day...Okay, I guess I will pose for my 6 month picture now.

 Eliana had her first food for her 6 month birthday. She did really well, and everyone was proud. She had her Grandma, Nana and Papa, Aunt Norvia, Cousin Abby, and Grandma and Grandpa LeBlanc, and Uncle Mike (present via Skype) all there for the occasion. She had cereal and breastmilk; mainly breastmilk, but she did really well eating off her spoon!

 Enjoying my dinner, and all the attention...

 Daddy takes a turn feeding me!

 I sure had fun skyping with my Grandma and Grandpa LeBlanc. Uncle Mike had to leave, but I got see him for a little while.

 I sure love my Daddy! Out to brunch with some friends after church.

 Hanging with my Aunt Norvia and cousin Abby. They came over so my Mom could get some stuff done around the house. Mom had to get the house looking good for the realtor's photographer to come this past Friday. Our house is now officially listed on the market. For sale sign in the yard and everything. Hard to believe we are moving to England. It still doesn't seem real. We got my passport several weeks ago, and are waiting for my visa to process. Crazy huh?

 Here I am with Mom and Dad before they head out to Dad's work safety picnic. It was an Astros game, and I was supposed to go, but I was still sick, so I stayed home, and Grandma came to take care of me. Such a bummer that I got sick too. It was from the doctor's office at my 6 month check up. No fair; shots, and I end up with a cold. I am getting better, but it is still lingering, and now my mom has it too.

 Hi Daddy. Eliana hasn't done much more eating since she got sick right around the time she started eating. I tried some zucchini with Mommy's new baby food maker, and then went back to cereal. I have to say, I really just don't feel like trying to eat when I am still so stuffy. I promise I will do better when I am well:)

Poor little sicky face. Eliana really has been a champ, and in good spirits considering she is sick. She even tries to soothe herself back to sleep (a huge sometimes) when she wakes up coughing. Poor girl...I sure hope I am better for the plane ride later this week to Oregon. I am really excited to see all of my Oregon family though!! Say a little prayer for my health.
