Cheerios

At Braedyn's 6 month doctor appointment, the Pediatrician said that he could have mashed table foods and cheerios.  So after his breakfast of oatmeal this morning, we tried them!  Braedyn was a little surprised at the texture, but continued to try to pick them up.  After putting one in his mouth, he started to pick them up and drop them right off the side of the highchair! and the "uh-oh" game begins!

Food First and Outdoor Fun

Friday night, Braedyn experienced his first solid vegetable...peas! He loved them.  There was no pushing it back out of his mouth.  Braedyn opened his mouth, and ate up all the peas we offered him.  He tried green beans later earlier this week, and loved those as well.  We are very excited that he seems to have Daddy's taste buds!

This past Saturday was the first nice day we could get outside as a family.  While Daddy and Mommy picked up the leaves and sticks in the backyard left over from the fall and winter, Braedyn enjoyed time in his exersaucer.  Then later in the work week, Braedyn spent time outside with his friends.  He also began sitting up unsupported this week, and had a lot f fun sitting in the grass and chilling in his sunglasses! We are so excited for the beautiful weather this weekend!

Happy Easter

Good Friday was spent with Addy and her parents and Braedyn was actually awake to play with her this time!  He especially liked watching her crawl around.

The Easter Bunny was very kind to Braedyn this year. He brought sunglasses, socks, a slinky, finger puppets, paint, and even a first chocolate bunny (which mommy helped him enjoy)!  Daddy also got a basket with his favorites, and we started the morning off with a beautiful Easter Service.  We were able to see both families this year, and look forward to more.

Mommy was very careful with the spot on her nose where she recently had 6 stiched removed and had to keep a careful eye on Braedyn's ever roaming hands.

He is working very hard on sitting up and on April 15 sat up multiple times throughout the day for long periods! He is so close to doing it without support.  He also graduated from his reclining infant tub to a half body sponge that lays in the bottom of the tub...at least until he becomes proficient at sitting up! 6 months is right around the corner and we should be starting some yummy vegetables soon!
