Guitars and Sweet Potatoes

So I haven't really had anything to blog about lately. I think I just burned out. Unless, of course, you all want to hear about my cleaning the house and going to the grocery store.

Here are some of the more exciting things in our life. We are working hard to get Erica on a routine. Every night about 7 pm we give her a bath and then Troy plays her songs on the guitar until 8pm. Then she goes to sleep like an a perfect angel (yeah right). Actually, she is getting much better about falling asleep on her own and I love it.


Although she is probably not quite ready, I've been really excited to feed solid foods to Erica. Here she is taking her first taste of sweet potatoes. Did these smell disgusting to anyone else? She didn't seem to mind.

Sweet potatoes! Ian loved them. I bet Erica would love avocado, too! You have to squish it up yourself, but it was real popular around here.

I love the picture of Troy and the guitar. What a sweet tradition. That Erica is a lucky little girl.

Miss you guys A LOT.

It's amazing how the most mundane things are the most important when you have a baby (like feeding them spoonful by spoonful of sweet potatoes!). Happy Spooning!

I love the picture of Erica with the sweet potatoes on her face. The look on her face is too cute! We are working on Cooper's schedule too. I know it was SO worth it once we had one set for Noah. I love that Troy plays the guitar for her. So sweet!

That's great that she's falling asleep on her own! I wish Eve would.

She finally looks like a Phillips! I like her all chubby and covered in food.... reminds me of myself at that age. :)
You have once again claimed the wallpaper on my computer!

So I guess I need to get with it and start feeding my baby more than a bottle. We haven't tried anything beyond rice cereal...can we start with anything else?
