Saying Goodbye...

Sunday we said "goodbye" to Saleema.  We had a farewell party for her on Saturday, which was a lot of busy fun!  Then she went with our cousin Breanna to a grad party and to her house for one last sleep-over(although I doubt they slept).  On Sunday morning they met us at the airport in Green Bay.  We all got a little misty-eyed when it was time for her to say good byes.
We are going to miss her.  We feel like we were just really getting to know her before she had to go.  But it was a nice experience for us all.  Good luck Sally!!! =)
Saying goodbye to Sally means that Flora gets to say good bye to her "baby" room and hello to a new big girl room.  It has a kind of "Fairies in the Garden" kind of theme.  She seems to like it. It has a lot more room which means room for her many toys!


So now Leo can say good bye to our room and have his own space, which is pretty much the same as when it was Flora's room just with different furniture(that's why there are no photos).  As he gets older the decor will change.
Here is that picture of Leo grabbing his feet.  He gets them both sometimes, usually when he's laying down.  He's not as interested in them since he is mastering rolling from his back to his tummy.  Too bad he doesn't know how to get back on his back, yet.  I'm sure he'll figure it out soon enough.  
Leo has also been sitting up really well.  He just needs a hand to save him when he starts to tip one way or another.  I guess balance is a hard thing to achieve.  I know some adults who still have trouble with it, physically and figuratively! ;)
We have been giving Leo a little taste of what's to come- baby food!  He has tried rice cereal, peas, avocado, and green beans.  He seems to like it.  It's probably that it's something other than formula.  He doesn't get it every meal, just here and there.  Stay tuned for a video!!
Flora is still doing well with potty training.  Today she went all on her own, without any help, twice!  I was pretty impressed, as was she.
