The Joy of Cooking....

Have I mentioned what a happy little girl our Sequoia is? Well it is worth repeating since we feel pretty lucky to share our days with such a joyous soul.
Tonight the excitement revolved around the discovery of sweet potatoes. Oh what a wonderful thing that orange mush is. Mommy is the best orange mush maker in the world...

Eventually Colleen and I will figure out how to get more of it in to her mouth, but oh the excitement of just trying to get it near the mouth.

She obviously loved the new flavor and was all chuckles, smiles and giggles about the process. Of course she does not realize that all the belly laughs, arm flinging and excited wiggles make our job harder and increases the likelihood of an after dinner bath.

Tonight it was definitely a bath night....


Oh, but it was worth it.

Oh, good golly ~ don't we tend to forget the pleasure of new discovery as we get older? ! What a neat reminder to "Wake up and smell, or enjoy, the flowers or the sweet potatoes as the case may be!" We take so much for granted -- it's a great thing to be reminded of life's joys!

Such a sweetie is our baby!

Hope to see her SOON!

love, grandmom

Wow, it looks like Sequoia likes her yellow veggies as much as I do. I kind of prefer to eat them, whereas it looks like she enjoys wearing them just as much.

I think it's amazing that Colleen and Leo are able to hold their camera steady while taking some of these photos. I'd be laughing so hard that the camera would be shaking like crazy.

Sequoia continues to be such a happy little baby, enjoying all the new adventures in life, including the tastes and textures of new foods.

If I ever get to feed her some of the veggies, I think I better remember to bring my raincoat or I might end up wearing them, too.

Our love to all 3 of you,
Pop-Pop and Mamasita
