mangia mondays 79: coffee cake

hey guys!

welcome to

a blog hop i co-host each week

with the lovely

lisa from shine your light.

this week has been awesome.

baby girl started rolling over both ways -

back to tummy & tummy to back.

she's been a lot less cranky

& she's gained so much control over her neck & head.

i know that she's only 2 months old,

but she's shown so much interest in what we're eating

that we've decided to give her a bit of rice cereal...

from a spoon!

she's done amazingly well

& loves eating like a big girl! :)

we've also entered little miss

into a gerber photo search contest through facebook.

if you guys have a facebook account,

we'd really appreciate the vote!

you can vote one time per day!

anyway,

my bake lab is incredible!

we're producing so much & i'm learning tons!

this week i'm sharing
