Fall photos of L

It is starting to get a little cooler and we have stocked L's closet with her fall and winter clothes. She looks like such a "big girl" when she wears blue jeans and jackets! Part of that is also that she is just growing so fast and getting taller every day.

In the past week, Lauren has started waving at people. It is so cute! She will wave at any friendly face. There is a woman who works at Phoebe's Bakery, where I like to buy sandwiches for lunch, and Lauren waves at her every time! This woman just loves it and waves back at Lauren practically the whole time we're in the shop.

Also in the past week Lauren has started eating real solid foods. She loves pickles! I bite off the skin of the pickle and then she takes a big bite of the soft part and chews it right up. I am still nervous for her to be eating solid foods, but she can't eat purees forever. She has since tried bites of watermelon, banana, kiwi, pasta, a whole wheat waffle, and chicken. She didn't care for the watermelon or pasta but she was a fan of everything else, especially the chicken. Now that she is interested to eat real foods, I cannot rely on baby food pouches and will have to start preparing things. I knew it would happen sooner or later!

Below are photos taken within the past week.
