Cereal?

Willow tried her first teaspoon of cereal. She has been quite interested in our food and the doctor said we could see how she did. You'd think from her interest and forcefulness at getting the spoon that she was ready...


Not quite yet - she didn't keep much in. We'll try again in a month or two.


Carl spent the weekend playing mostly with his Daddy. He really is his Daddy's boy. (I was making a cake today and used some mint chocolate chips in it. Carl asked for some so I gave him about 5 pieces in a cup. He quickly drank/ate them and asked for more. I said he could have a couple more but that was it... they are a treat and that he should savior them - eat one at a time. He just looked at me and asked, "Why?" Like I said, just like his Daddy.

Anyway, we did have a nice morning together.... some coloring, some playing with cars and a little snuggling too. And then there are the special weekend mornings when Willow wakes up and I call in Carl... he comes to the door, "Willow awake Momma? Can I turn the light on?" I say yes, he turns it on and very excitedly climbs into our bed to snuggy Willow. Brian, Carl, Willow, Smokey and I all lay in our bed for awhile just taking in the love. It is a treasure, indeed.
