Yeah, I'm so behind I'm going to have to rely on photos and fb posts to help me keep track of what happened this month!
Holland's biggest milestone was rolling both directions and trying rice cereal for the first time! She's in 3 and 6 month clothes, weighs about 17 lbs. Making lots of raspberry sounds, and loves to chew on her toes. As with all of my kids, she didn't care for the rice cereal/breastmilk combo, so we only did it the once. She kept pushing the food out with her tongue, so I figured she wasn't quite ready yet.
She made her first visit to Bebe's house in Cleveland and to McCarty's in Merigold. It's a long standing tradition that children receive a bird on their first visit to sit on a southeast pointing window sill. As nerve wracking as a trip to McCarty's with small children is, the gardens are worth it! Such a beautiful and fun place to explore with kids.

Holland also had her first plane ride(s) as we traveled to Lake Tahoe/Truckee for a friend's wedding. She slept the entire way out there, but had a few crying spells on the flight back. You can feel the frustration from other passengers, but not much you can do if a baby is going to cry. It made and I so nervous/stressed, I'm sure that didn't help calm Holland. No telling how many people I flashed while trying to feed her on the plane. Oh well. Other than the crying, I also had a touch of a stomach bug and felt terrible the first half of the trip. We did get out some to sight see and drive to the Lake in addition to the wedding festivities. We stayed at the Cedar Sport Lodge in Truckee which was really pretty and had great breakfast/happy hours.

Fourth of July celebration at Lisa's house. This post is all out of wack, but I don't have time for perfection.
