Pittsburgh

During my fall break in October, Lee took the week off from work, and we headed to Pittsburgh, so Aryana could meet the extended family. She got to meet both great-grandmas, and many great- aunts and second cousins.

We took her to the zoo, which she got close and personal with the free-wandering peacock. Also, the male silver-backed gorilla came right up to the window, and Aryana's eyes widen. We also went to the Chihuly glass art exhibit at the Conservatory, and it was really amazing.

Nona, Papa, and Mark met us in Pittsburgh at the end of the week to relax and see Aryana.

Four Generations!

While we were in Pittsburgh, Aryana ventured into the world of solid foods with rice cereal. Her first spoonful didn't go really well because she was crying at the top of her lungs, which we quickly learned that she is not interested in eating solids while she is crying. We eventually were able to calm her down, and she was able to enjoy solids for the first time. It was really cute when Nona fed her using the airplane impressions. (Don't worry, I have that on video camera- coming soon.)
