New things

ESK is growing up so fast. She's only 7 months now, but I feel like time has flown by. She's getting more mobile every day and have started to worry about baby-proofing.

At her six/seven month well-baby checkup, we found out the City of Portland does not add flouride to the drinking water here. Why? Because people are concerned about the environmental impact. Did I mention that this city is very green? So, we're now giving Elise flouride supplement along with her vitamins.

We're introducing new foods to her now that we know she can eat most of the Step 1 pureed baby foods. Lately, I've been making E's baby food. She loves the peach and pear purees I've made. Today, we'll try making a chicken, sweet potato and grapes combination...

I've finally gotten around to downloading some video from our camera. Here's a clip from our family vacation at a beach house @ Cannon Beach in July:
