Happy Thanksgiving!

Sorry, no pictures. Our camera isn't working and we haven't figured out what we want to do (get a new one or fix the old one). We are in California for Thanksgiving. It's been fun to be back, and I can't believe that it's already been a year. It doesn't seem that long! We have been visiting friends and family, and trying to have all our favorite take out (Florida doesn't have quite the same selection.) Both of the kids are having a little bit of a hard time with the time change. Naps have been hard to predict with Ian. I am sure that they both are sick is making it difficult for them too. But we are glad to be here for the holiday. I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving, wherever you find yourselves!

Yum, yum!

So I finally decided to do it. And let me tell you that it hasn't been an easy decision. Nursing is just so easy. No mess, no staining, no cleaning up or washing anything, nothing to carry around with me. So it was really hard to decide to make the decision to start cereal. And believe me, I have stretched it as far as possible. Recommended start of solid foods is somewhere between 4 and 6 months, and Ian is 5 months and 3 1/2 weeks! So Sunday Ian and I had the house to ourselves and I thought it was time to give it a try. It was so funny because here I was thinking this was going to take some time and then I show Ian the spoon with cereal on it he opened up his mouth and kind of acted like "Where have you been all my life!" He knew exactly what to do and love, love, loves it! Every time he saw the spoon coming he opened up that little mouth as wide as possible and wriggled with excitement. It is so cute. I actually look forward to eating time!
Ian's hair is growing in as a mohawk. Don't worry, I don't usually style it like this, it doesn't suit him. But it is fun to play with before a bath!
