Saturday evening my family all got together for watermelon as an early birthday celebration for my grandmother. This was Leah's first experience of good old southern watermelon.
She just slurped and slurped. She actually made herself a little bit sick off of it. Her mama didn't think about that and just kept letting her have more. (That was the first of many times, I think, that require that I do not listen to what she ways she wants, but rather go with what I know to be best.)
She was quite fond of the stuff. The only problem (other than the tummy sickness) was the mess all over her outfit. Who knew watermelon would stain?

It's gonna be hard to say know to such a precious, little face!
I love that picture of you and her!! It is beautiful.
It is so much fun trying all the new things. I remember it was a bigger thrill for me even more than it was for the kiddos. Lots to enjoy.
I had watermelon last night and thought of little Leah!
Mmmmm!!! It stains? Really?? Looks like it was way worth it though :P
Watermelon always reminds me of my Gramma's house in Maine which was the only place I ever ate it.
