Annabelle's milestones

Annabelle has had some big changes occur recently. This last week her first tooth cut through(the front left tooth on the bottom)! We knew it was going to happen soon because the last month or so she's been doing a lot of slobbering and chomping down on whatever is near.
A couple of weeks ago Annabelle started sitting up without any assistance! She's pretty good at it and can stay seated without any help for probably a minute or so.
(She is SO cute! Look at those fingers in her mouth. What a sweetheart. And her cute siblings are sitting near by watching .)Just before our trip we introduced baby food to Annabelle. So far she's eaten squash and baby oatmeal. I know she's ready to be eating because from the start she loved it and will gobble it all down. We started her on solids 2 weeks ago at 5 months and we've only given it to her probably 5 times. We're going to introduce a couple other baby foods over the next couple of weeks but we'll be taking it slow, I'm not in any hurry for her to grow up, in fact I'd like it if she'd stay my sweet little, helpless baby forever! I guess we'll just have to have another one when she gets older; I LOVE babies! (The last two pictures shown were taken by Elisabeth. She's our little photographer in training.)
