Lately-

Here is a little bit of what we've been up to around here:

All smiles waiting for breakfast.

Naps...in the car seat (and some in the bed).

Posing for pics before church.

More food.

More poses.

Shoe snack...in the car seat.

Crawling under baracades.

Strolling off for a lunch date with Mommy.

The A family visit

Now that they are FINALLY 3 hours away...they came for a visit.  The only two pics I snapped were to document how much these boys love their mama. ;)

Who needs Gerber?

Sweet potatoes are baked and in the blender...

Blending...

A new taste!  Julie FINALLY gets to feed him something. ;)

Yum!  I think he likes them!

Easter

Baby photo shoots are...awesome!  Ha!  These are the best we could do on Easter Sunday.  Would you believe we did not get a family photo?  We win the award for worst picture takers.  We had a blessed day with some family in town for the weekend and a reminder of our beautiful Savior.

A day

Well, today was one of those days.  We all have them from time to time, right?  I've discovered that I have a choice in how I respond and that response determines how the day continues and ends.

The parking lot in front of our apartment is being resurfaced.  The little guy's afternoon nap just wasn't happening.  The water went off...just as I was starting a load of laundry.  What?!

Loud noises and fumes+no water+baby that needs to sleep but isn't sleeping=we are leaving the house.

So, we ended up here using coupons and one of us napped while the other enjoyed an outing and no fumes or trucks.

Then we strolled through some stores and bought a cute boy baby shirt for $2.61.

Then we saw the ocean.  This photo does not do it justice.  Every time I catch a glimpse of the ocean it literally takes my breath away.  Still.  And, I am really blessed to get to see the ocean a lot.  Wow.  God created the ocean and saw that it was good.  I agree.

Then we picked up our vegetable box.  Asparagus, zucchini, strawberries and many more goodies.

We came home to water, a rested baby and many other blessings.  This was a good day.

Food Days

So far he has eaten avocado, banana, plain yogurt, homemade rice cereal, applesauce and sweet potatoes.  I think applesauce is his current favorite with sweet potatoes coming in second, even though he only had them for the first time tonight.  He likes yogurt, seemed ok with the rice and does not appear to care too much for bananas.  As much as I want him to love avocado (and thought he did love it the first time we gave him food), I do not think he is a fan.

Hey, there's nothin' on this spoon!

Somebody feed me!

Yum...yogurt

Do I have to eat more?  (This is right after he "shivered" at the tartness!)

Enjoy this...Mama worked hard grinding the grain and cooking it.

Eh...it's just so-so.

This!  This is what I've been waitin' for!

Despite the pucker, I think applesauce is his fav.

The Park

Now, my Mama and I do more than just walk around the park...we swing!

Mama's sayin' weeeeeeeee...maybe I should, too!

Nah, I think I'll just hang out right here.

Weeeeee?

What's going on over there?

Whoa!  I might need some sunglasses.

I love to swing

Precious-head ;)

I love his little arm propped up on the side!  (He did that all by himself!)
