The picture I took after she fed herself a banana didn't turn out, it just made her have a shiny face. And she does eat fruit...I apparently didn't take any pictures of peaches, applesauce, pears or such. She has eaten spinach, in a mixed veggie variety, and liked it. Yesterday we tried rice cakes and I picked up avocados, which were one of CJ's favorites.
Thanks to everyone who sent me answers, I don't have a picture of the prize, but it is an assortment of cards.

We have had a busy week. Monday CJ had a speech evaluation. They were impressed with how many words she strings together for sentences, and her social and emotional skills scored high also. However, despite her high scores for most of her language skills, she made many articulation errors and it dropped her overall score down to 2.1 (2yrs 1month). Next week we begin speech sessions, twice a week for 30mins each time. We all have confidence that it won't take her long to catch back up, but it is nice to have a plan in place to ensure she doesn't get further behind her peers. Next Wednesday, CJ will have her hearing tested.

Last Saturday, Eric and I, *gasp* had a date without children! It was a really fun night. The girls did great, CJ was asleep by 7:20 and Laurelei woke up after CJ went to bed. Both girls have been doing well in the nursery on Sunday mornings too. Laurelei only wants to stand, and the nursery informed us that she tried to take a step--without holding onto anything. Looks like she is planning on keeping up with her big sister! She is close to "cruisin" and is just as curious as CJ.

Eric has flown 4 days this week. One flight ended up being incomplete due to the sun setting and on yesterday's flight he got sick again. After today's flight, he should have one flight, a check ride, then solo. He's not nervous yet, he has the weekend to get nervous.

We're having friends over tonight for a campfire. CJ has been talking all week about having marshmallows and popcorn when Josiah comes. Then I'm sure Eric will be studying the rest of the weekend.
