Future Stars

We had small group at the Dunn's the other week. We laughed about the difference between the adults who have kids and those that do not. The ones who are not parents yet thought the kids banging on the piano was cute. The parents were cringing and hoping they didn't break anything.

Pausing for a smile

Gigglebox

Spence can make Zeke crack up with the simplest things! I love his laugh. It totally makes me smile.

Baby Dos

We went to the dr today. We got to see baby dos again and see it's little heart beating. It is so cool! It has little arm buds now. The pictures aren't so great because I took pictures of the pictures. The first is the picture from our first visit and the second is today's. It's pretty cool to see the difference 3 weeks makes.

Eggs and Yogurt

Zeke had a big week for trying some new textures. He didn't really love the texture of the eggs. I think I am going to let him pick them up and feed himself next time though. I am pretty sure that will change how much he likes them. He also got to try yogurt. And he loves it! I started him slowly with it, just letting him have a little at a time for three days. Then Sunday he had an entire container. He is so talkative when he eats and he likes it. He was going "mmmm" and leaning forward with his mouth wide open. So cute!
Oh and the picture of Z with the yogurt cup was after he had eaten some and I was just letting him play. I did not let him go at the full cup of yogurt.

Egghead!

I should send this in, what a great advertisement!

Sleep

Zeke had a great sleep night last night. This may not sound like a good night for some of you that have kiddos that sleep through the night, but for us this was a GREAT night. He went down at 7:30. We didn't hear a peep until 12:15. That's almost 5 hours! Then we didn't hear from him again until 6:15. That 6 hours! You just can't understand what having 6 hours straight can do for a girl. I actually have not felt queasy or nauseous all day!

Stay Puff

Zeke has learned to feed himself the little gerber puff things. He hasn't really seemed to like them when I have given them to him. Each time I have put one in his mouth, he has made a face like "why are you doing this to me?" But we have been working on him picking them up and getting them to his mouth. He had finally gotten the picking up part, so I started working on putting it into his mouth. I held Zeke's hand in mine and then put it to his mouth. Then I pushed the puff in. It only took that one time and the kid knew exactly what to do after that. I even caught his first time doing it on his own on video. Look how he smiles when I praise him!

My small group is better than yours...

I don't know what your small group does when they get together, but this is what mine does. We are thinking about going on the road. Charlie Dunn did a great rendition of Red Hot Chili Peppers "Give it Away Now", but I was on guitar so I didn't get pics or video of that.
