Family Values

My cousin sent me these wonderful pictures of my grandparents! My best guess is that these pictures were taken around 1935, In the the pictures with their friends, my grandparents are both on the left.

Resident Foodie

Our little man has started on solids, and he loves them! He currently enjoys rice cereal and sweet potatoes. He absolutely LOVES both of these things. Now that we are past all of the tummy troubles, he seems to have a big interest in food. When we are eating, he mimicks the motion of chewing and reaches for our plates. We can't wait to see what other foods he loves as we continue to give him new things!

For Love of a White Cat

This photo is nearly 3 years in the making!! Linus has loved Prue since the first time he saw her across the family room. Prue has not felt the same way. While she tolerated him, she would not snuggle up to him no matter how much he tried. Well in the past week, things have changed! Several times in the last few days I have found these two snuggled up next to each other on our bed. Linus' persistance has paid off!

A Hair Raising Tale

Fantastic Five!

Graham is five months old!

He doesn't love to ride in his car seat, but looks so cute all bundled up in it!

He LOVES to stand!

His first time riding on Papa's shoulders. He's not quite sure about this yet!

It looks like he just might get his Mama's blue eyes!

He loves spending time with his Uncle Zach!

He loves eating his rice cereal. He has really gotten the hang of eating off a spoon and starts opening and closing his mouth the second we put him in his high chair and he sees the cereal bowl coming over.

Happy 5 months buddy, we love you more and more every single day!

Future Cake Boss?

My first attempt at baking a cake! I really do like to bake, but I usually do pies and cobblers and things of that nature. However, when I saw the recipe for a rainbow cake on a Facebook friend's wall, I new I had to try it! Here's the different colors of batter. Look how pretty! The batter has been mixed into the pans to create a rainbow effect. Time to bake. Piper loves to lay on the stove when the oven is warm

The finished product. I'm horrible at cutting those nice wegde slices, as evident by the mess on my plate.

I Can Do It Myself, MOM!

When I went to give Graham his bottle, he grabbed it out of my hands and decided that he would be holding it himself. He held the bottle in the perfect position throughout the entire feeding. Way to go little guy!
(And my apologies for the quality of the pictures. They were taken with my cell phone, which does not have a good camera)
