Tonight Emma Kate got to experience the wonderful taste and taunting aromas of rice cereal. It was basically water with a little bit of white stuff floating in it. While sitting in her high chair for the first time, EK made interesting faces but seemed to enjoy it as Alison was feeding her and I was juggling the camera and camcorder. Grandma and Grandpa Kirkland were there to watch!

Her bib, burb cloth, and outfit were covered in rice cereal. She changed into her Pizza Kitchen onesie that her cousins Jake and Megan gave her:

Yes, I’ve been horrible at posting in a timely manner. That’s the reason for so many blogs failing. If you have a blog, certainly don’t follow in my footsteps. Fortunately, if you haven’t been checking the blog often, you might not have noticed that it set without changes for about 6 weeks. Why is this? It’s the dirty little secret of blogs – backdating. You can change the date of any post you write. It comes in handy for people like me who do a whole bunch of posts at one time. At least they appear in good chronological order.

So the reason I’m giving up my secret is so that you don’t miss a post. Sometimes I post more recent items first, and then add older ones. Just be sure to glance around every once in a while and you might discover a post in the archives!

That’s the blog lesson for the day. Class dismissed. 

Lisa came over to party with Emma Kate and her parents for New Year’s Eve. I can’t say it was the most happening party in Georgia, but I’m sure we had more fun than anyone else in Williamson (which is not saying much, considering we have about 5 people in the town younger than 70!).

Emma Kate absolutely loves Lisa. Here are a couple shots w/ her “got milk?” shirt on.
