First Solids - Rice Cereal!

At 5 months of age, we decided to start feeding Jack rice cereal. The first day, he didn't know what to think of the spoon and the cereal... 

He made all kinds of weird faces at us, 

he even tried to hide...

but then he wanted to show us what a big boy he was and feed himself!

And at the end of the feeding, he was super happy and couldn't wait for the next time he got to have cereal!

Now, he opens wide when he sees the spoon. All and all, our first adventure with solids is a success!

St. Croix Weekend!

A group of us went to St. Croix in Hinckley, MN for a weekend "camping" trip. (We stayed in a cabin). My how things have changed from two years ago.... we never used to take baby monitors out by the campfire before :) But, we all had a blast, especially the boys! Below there is West (10 months), Jack (5 months) and Kilen (7 months). We had BBQ, campfires, and the girls went canoeing (rather floating) down the St. Croix. Cannot wait to do it again next year!

Rolling, Grabbing, and Jumping!

The difference 5 months makes! Jack's personality is really coming out and he is able to do so many things. He rolls from side to side, grabs anything and everything (and puts it into his mouth), and loves his jumparoo and exersaucer!
