Elevenses

Happy eleven month birthday to Yelena today! Oh, and happy Independence Day although right about now I think I'd prefer the British Empire to the current regime.

Yelena's balance while standing is getting better every day. If she didn't have such a big head and such tiny feet (she could've been a contender!) she'd probably be standing on her own by now.

As of Friday she is eating bread. I gave her a piece of challah and the rest is history. She ate more on Saturday and on Sunday she had the house bread in the Greek restaurant where we celebrate Kenny's birthday every year. Yesterday we gave her some whole wheat bread and today she had her first melted cheese. Say, "Cheese!"
