Eating 'Solids'


This weekend Ben and I decided it was time to start feeding Henry solid foods...By solid, I mean watery oatmeal...







So, tonight I bought him some oatmeal and fed it to him. He was a pro! He seemed to enjoy it. It was super cute. He sat in his highchair next to Ivy. Ivy ate a waffle and eggs for dinner and Henry got watery oatmeal. At least he has something to aspire to. :-)

Enjoy the pics. I sure enjoyed taking them!

A day on the farm

This weekend has been GREAT and we topped it off on Sunday by spending the majority of our day at Morgan's parents farm in Yamhill. It's amazing out there.
The drive is nice and pretty and on a lazy Sunday morning it really doesn't take that long to get there. The farm is beautiful and serene. It is relaxing just walking around out there. We saw chicken, goats, baby goats, a cat with 8 toes on each front paw, a horse and buffalo. Ivy got to feed the goats and really wanted to hold a chicken, but they aren't tame enough.

We then retired to the beauty that is Dan and Patty's back deck. The deck and backyard face more of the pastures that surround their house and we got to watch the baby goats frolick while we ate an amazing lunch. It was so great!

Thanks to the Armstrongs for hosting us and thanks to Morgan for bringing such beauty to our family! We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Saturday afternoon and evening was spent at the Davis/Armstrong house enjoying their backyard and chit chatting. We bbq'd buffalo burgers and had a great time with Morgan, Keegs and grandpa Terry. Ivy sat in her own big girl chair and enjoyed her own helping of chips and salsa. It was pretty cute.

It's been an amazing weekend. I'm so glad summer has arrived!

YAY!

Growing Up Fast











OK, so by daily updates I meant monthly at best.

Our life is CRAZY.

Ben and I spent Memorial Day weekend in Monterey with some of the kids from his swim team. It was a nice getaway.

Ivy and Henry spent that weekend with Grammy and Grandpa in Redmond with GG and Great Grandpa. They had a great time. Ivy came home feeding herself with her fork and spoon and Henry now sleeps through the night. It's fabulous.

I told my mom that I'll be sending Ivy and her potty chair over for another long weekend soon and hope she comes home potty trained. :-)

We got to skype with Andrea last Saturday and that was fun. Ivy was a bit confused about where Auntie was. She could see her, but couldn't grasp why Auntie was living in the TV. :-)

Here are some fabulous pics!

Enjoy.
