I went to a bridal shower today for my friend Angie. I am so excited for her & had so much fun watching her unwrap her gifts & plan for her new life with her husband!

She can get off the couch by herself, but she can't get up on it yet.  Food : Still eating anything & everything, with the exception of eggs & pasta sometimes. She also isn't crazy about red meat. We finally offered it to her for the first time about a month ago & she just didn't eat much of it. Not sure if she actually doesn't like it or if her teeth just aren't t...
