We had some beautiful weather this week so one day after I got home from work we went for a stroll around the neighborhood. Canaan enjoys riding in her stroller. She will not relax and sit back. She sits up and holds on the whole ride. She will squeal and rock back and forth when you stop moving.
I gave Canaan these tiny pieces of turkey one night after her baby food. It was hilarious to watch her pick up the turkey, put it in her mouth, and then wink and gag as she swallowed it. I have not been good about giving her finger foods yet. Do you have any suggestions for finger foods?On Saturday, Matthew's aunt and uncle and cousin and her daughter came down for a visit. We hadn't seen them since before Thanksgiving sometime.

Aunt Lois always brings fun gifts. Aren't these bunny ears so cute?And we aren't above making our sweet Max wear pink bunny ears. He's cute as well, isn't he?
I am missing many pictures from this week as well. I really hope I can rescue them from the card.
- Canaan has also learned to close doors. She has closed herself in a room more than once and been unhappy that she can't get back out.
- She walks around our legs in a circle. Especially if she wants you to pick her up while you are busy in the kitchen, she will start whining/crying and keep walking around your legs in a circle until you pick her up or move. She will also walk around the dining room chairs in a circle.
- She is getting better at drinking out of a sippy cup, although we don't give one to her often.
- Canaan uses her index fingers a lot to touch/explore things. She has stuck it up her nose a few times when touching her face with her finger.
- She also likes to stick her finger in Max's mouth. He doesn't really appreciate that so he will generally turn away from her.
- As you could see from a picture in my last post, she enjoys sitting in the high chair when we eat out. She likes to watch the people all around us. That can be quite the source of entertainment for her.

You must try the Gerber puffs for Canaan! Taylor still loves when I mix a few in with her Cheerios in her snack cup. Cheerios, small pieces of cheese, banana, pasta, and peas are all great finger foods. Once she gets the hang of small foods, try crackers when you go to restaurants. Taylor loved(and still does) to munch on crackers while we waited for the food.
Puffs are a great first finger food. Steamed carrots are a fave at our house. Miss you guys!
