Christmas came early to our house when Helena received her first Christmas present from her Gigi and Grandad....her Baby Einstein activity center! She absolutely loves playing in it. Many thanks to Gigi and Grandad as it is a big hit all around. Mom and Dad love it because it keeps her happily entertained!

Helena has been eating very well these days! She's mastered rice and oatmeal cereal, carrots, sweet potatoes, green peas, bananas, and pears. Here she is attempting to lick the bowl of oatmeal clean!

Helena shows off her purple hat for a walk around the neighborhood post-Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Helena enjoyed her first Thanksgiving and a visit from her Gigi and Grandad this past weekend. She loved spending time with her grandparents and having lots of people to cuddle her all week long. On turkey day, she enjoyed some sweet potatoes, peas and oatmeal. The rest of the clan indulged in all the Thanksgiving fixings. Aunt Kristi was very helpful in the kitchen chopping and providing comic relief. We played, read books, took a walk to the park and ate entirely too much. Lots of fun was had by all!

Okay, we've taken a ridiculous amount of photos, but we figure anyone reading this blog is as crazy about her as we are!

We took a family outing to our neighborhood park this weekend and got some great shots of Miss Helena Keate, as well as the beautiful trees with their changing colors. Who says we don't have fall in LA? We even got a little artistic and threw in some black and white shots!
