Last week we introduced cereal to Laura's diet. She was not a big fan. The first three days of cereal-time, Mom would fill the spoon a quarter full of cereal. Upon entering Laura's mouth, she would make a "gross" face, turn her head, swat the spoon, and let spit-up cereal drip off her face. Something happened yesterday that will change our approach. Yesterday, Mom placed cereal on her finger instead of the spoon and Laura sucked it off without any signs of displeasure. "Oh Laura!"Dozinky Days
Last Saturday, we went down to Dad's hometown for Laura's first New Prague's Dozinky Days town festival. Dozinky means Fall Harvest in Czech and the town celebrates with ethnic activities, food, and other events including a parade. Once again, the weekend was absolutely beautiful. Warm and dry. I can not remember a bad weekend (weather-wise) for the town festival. Mom, Laura and I strolled main street soaking up the downtown activities. We watched the parade, listened to polka bands, Dad made a quick stop at the Pork Burger stand (YUM!), Mom ducked in and out of the girly stores, and so on. Interested in eating a kolacky for the first time, Mom stopped by the bakery. I don't think she was overly impressed with the fruit-filled bakery good but that didn't stop her from finishing it.
Laura and Lilly
We finished off the evening at Uncle Scott and Auntie Lynn's house with dinner and play time. Lilly played nicely with Laura, Mom held baby Andrew and Dad played with everyone. Lilly was very nice to Laura as she would generously place Laura's nook back into her mouth. Did I mention, she was also the one who pulled the nook out?!? HA! Still cute and funny! I am sure this is the beginning of a long friendship!

That cereal picture is HILARIOUS. Love it! Also, I'm sure I'm committing some kind of New Prague sacrilege here, but I'm not a fan of the kolacky either, Christie. Not sure what the big deal is? :)
Laura is getting so big! Love to see her sitting up!
As for the kolacky, it beats lefse....and I think that is good enough to brag about.
Hey, as evidenced by Father B, I clearly have no problems with baked goods of all sorts. The kolacky was just fine, my analysis was:
A) Sort of like a jelly donut in a baked, bun format - less sweet
B) I would still pick a donut over a kolacky any day
For the record I had a raspberry kolacky, wasn't feeling adventurous enough to try the traditional prune!
