Family Game Night

We all love Friday nights. If we are home, we have a game night or a movie night. This particular Friday we were eager to try out our new game: Candy Land dvd style. Seth and I were less than impressed (good thing it was a thrift store find :))...but Hannah loved it! Watching her have so much fun made for a fun family game night!

Isaacs Favorite Toy

Isaac loves playing with Fisher Price Little People, his very favorite is the Little People farm. He loves the animals and the sounds that the barn makes....by far his favorite toy!

A Beautiful Day at the Zoo!

Back in March, we had a few beautiful days that gave us a taste of spring. We put on our coats and headed to the zoo. It was a perfect day for the zoo...the animals were as excited about the nice weather as we were. They were very active and so much fun to watch.

I don't know that we have ever really seen the gorillas at our zoo. We stood and watched them for such a long time. The one gorilla was having a great time entertaining us. He would move from pose to pose, run around, and even pounded on his chest. It was so much fun!

it was fun to see the rhinos actually up and about too!

St. Patty's Day

We spent St. Patty's Day with friends here at our house. I made Corned Beef and Cabbage for the first time in the crock pot (usually we have Irish Beef Stew...but I had to know what all the fuss about Corned Beef was :)). We enjoyed the time of fellowship and had fun watching the kids play. Here are Hannah and Gavin playing Brown Bear, Panda Bear...what fun!

First Food

Isaac's first food was avacado...

I had read that this is the best first baby food...and Hannah loved it too (although I did give it to her much later). Isaac however, did not love avacado. Poor guy threw up the avacado...and everything that he ate before it. Yuck!

We waited a week and tried a new "first food". Next he had sweet potatoes...which he did love! He is now also eating butternut squash, bananas, and green beans. He is eating (still small amounts) right along with us for each meal now too...we love having him at the table with us. For breakfast he has cereal and fruit, lunch is a fruit and veggie, and dinner is cereal, fruit, and veggie (we like that tummy nice and full before bedtime :)).

It's still so crazy to me how fast he is growing!

Beginning Stages of Drawing People

These are Hannah's first stick figure people. She was very proud of them!
