28 weeks

It's been a busy week! But I figured I should probably post Rose's 28-week portraits before she turns 29 weeks old this weekend! :) She is growing and developing every day - yesterday she started for-real babbling! She particularly likes practicing the "da" and "ba" sounds.  Mike is convinced it's because she's desperately eager to say "Dada"!

Last Sunday we had dinner with Grammy and Grandpa Jack. What a fun time! Rose loved trying the BBQ ribs, cheesy potatoes and broccoli. She's so over purees now that she knows what real food tastes like!

We tried taking a family Christmas photo, and here is one of the outtakes. (Once again, I don't want to spoil whatever photo the grandparents choose to send out for the holidays.) It was hard to get 6 people smiling at the camera, and harder still to do it with the auto-timer on my camera! We did get one good picture in the end, though.

(Isn't she cute?)

Rose loved all the TV she got to watch ... much to my chagrin. (I tried to play it cool, but I'm not sure I was that successful.)

Here are two of the Vikings fans, one of whom is totally zoned out with the TV behind my shoulder!

Hope you're all having a great week!
