Easter Weekend

DB's first Easter was a special time for our family. We enjoyed some unusually warm weather, decorated for Easter, ate, met local family here for the first time, worshiped at church, cooked dinner with friends, went to the park, ate some more and relaxed. ;) Here is a picture summary below!

'I guess they want me to eat the grass b/c there is no candy in the egg'

Cool car

I love emptying all the grass out of the basket

Below: I have to admit....I'm a little obsessed with egg holders. A few years ago I went to a garden club meeting with my sister and it was there where I learned of egg holders. I have a lot now because I buy every egg holder that I see. ;) Dean loves them too! HA! So, here are some of the decorations from this year!

Update

I took this video of DB when we were in the midst of unpacking last week. He quickly figured out how to scoot on the hard wood floors. He is actively trying to crawl and everyday he gets a little closer...I'm sure in the next week we will be on all fours and moving. We are having a blast watching DB experience all these new developments...hopefully this week we will get some new footage for all our viewers! Stay tuned...

Oh...I guess I also took some pictures from the same day last week (they are at the bottom):

Dad pretending to eat my foot....I think this is hilarious

Fresh from a nap

"My dad is so fun!"

"We've gone to two places to buy the same plants and I'm STILL in my pajamas...seriously people."

Working on my crawl

"This rug is very interesting"

"What is it made of???"

The Park

Spring has finally sprung and we headed to the park to test out the baby swing! It was a success...DB loves to swing!

'This is so cool, mom'

'Love this'

Happy 6 months DB

Our baby is six months old already and the time has flown by so fast! We have 2 teeth, can sit-up, roll over, babble, play, bounce, squeal, eat with a spoon and so much more. Life with DB is a truly a joy that has overwhelmed our hearts with love. We know the next six months are going to fly by just as fast so we are savoring each moment with our little dude.

Pictures to come!

With Love,
Dean & Bonnie

Food and Pictures

A few weeks ago we started DB on solids and there was absolutely no hesitation on his part. He loves eating!! After the first of the year both Dean & I noticed that DB had taken a real interest in our food and watching us eat. So, on January 21st we officially started feeding DB solids. We began with the traditional rice cereal and have now tasted squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans and oatmeal. His favorites are squash and oatmeal. Although the oatmeal has only come into the runnung lately because I started sprinkling oatmeal in there, which made a huge difference! I just can't hardly stand watching him eat such bland food all the time! Other noteworthy items: DB likes his sweet potatoes cold, any clothing smeared with veggies must be stripped off and soaked immediately and you must remember to get the wet paper towel at the beginning of the feeding. ;) As you can see from the pictures below DB is learning to sit up and getting better at it each day. He loves the new perspective of sitting up. Enjoy the pictures below.
