Thanksgiving, food and more Lotty play

It looks like we missed posting in November all together.  It isn't like it is an especially short month, but it has been a busy one.  Elizabeth had two concerts in conjunction with the release of her second solo CD.  You can find it here.  There was also a trip down to California for a week around Thanksgiving.  Grammy and Grandpa Brown had not seen Lotty since she was a few weeks old, so it was good for all of them to get re-acquainted.  It is a Mendocino County Law that you have to take pictures of the ocean while there.  Here are a couple that Paul took:

 

While on the trip, Lotty rolled over for the first time.  She did it a total of three times and hasn't done it since.  So for now, she remains basically immobile.


We started feeding Lotty "solid" food on Saturday.  Her first food was rice cereal thinned with breast milk.  She was a bit unsure of what to do that first meal, but it went better today.  She didn't seem to have any adverse reaction to the rice, so that is good.

Just today, Lotty started playing with the toys on the Baby Einstein play center that she got from Grammy and Grandpa Brown.  She was first fascinated by the bongo playing lion (who wouldn't be) and then started playing with the flexible necked giraffe.  I think she will find it more fun when her feet actually touch the bottom.  For now, though, she can just hang out in it with a little supervision.
