A Little Sunshine

Saturday was absolutely amazing!!  It was so unseasonably warm outside.  I believe it got into the 70's, which made it seem impossible that we were sledding not even a week ago.  Me and the kids stayed at my mom's house on Friday because I had a photography appointment scheduled for them early Saturday morning.  Afterward we went to lunch and the park.  I had never seen so many kids playing on the play equipment at Deming Park.....we didn't go near it.  We just enjoyed walking Mom's dogs and Jed's stroller around the perimeter and soaking up the sunshine.  Kyle grilled out for us that evening.  The windows were opened....it was bliss I tell you!  Bliss! 

I bought Jed this little cap the day I found out he was a boy.  I was just waiting for a warm day to stick it on his head.  He looked so darn cute.   (I can't decide which is my favorite "me and Jed" picture so I'm including them all.  It's a mother's right.)

 

I seriously have the cutest kids!!  

Evangeline entered two of her pieces (Shape House and Happy, Happy Whale) in the children's art show at Gaslight.  We are so proud of our little artist.  She is seriously crafting and drawling ALL the time.  She doesn't play with toys much... just crafts and drawls.  She enjoys looking at famous art works with her daddy either on the iPad or in his art books.  She's always inspired. 

 

My Jed is 6 months old, which boggles the mind.  He had his check up yesterday and is right on track for weight and height.  50th percentile for both.  He had his first "solid" food yesterday....oatmeal and breast milk....the meal of champions.  He absolutely loved it.  By the end of his feeding he would hang his little mouth open in anticipation of the spoon.  Dr. James predicts that he will be my eater.  I think she might be right. 

Here he is poised for his oatmeal on day number 2.  He seemed a little more expectant as to what was getting ready to take place.  He ate a whole serving (1 Tbs. oatmeal and 4 Tbs. milk) this time around.  He's getting this eating business down!  I can't wait to try him with carrots in a few days.
