Let them eat......meat.

Ava has decided not to become a vegetarian. I know this because Andy fed her turkey and sweet potatoes, and she ate it. You'd think she'd pretty much eat anything at this age, but she already has her own unique way of letting us know when something's just not her bag: she looks right into your eyes, and flat refuses to open her mouth. No fussing or fanfare; just pursing of her teeny little lips. In case you're wondering, pears are the first thing off her list.

There's nothing much cuter than a baby in a swing. The great big grin, the delighted giggling, the little legs kicking. And of course this is what we pictured as we gleefully pushed the stroller to the park for the first time. We got a few little smiles, but for the most part she just looked a little bored. See for yourself.

As long as she didn't hate it, we won't be giving up any time soon. As I said before, there's nothing much cuter than a baby in a swing.
