Cereal for Phaelen!

I know, I can't believe it either. He can't even sit up by himself but he has been trying to eat every one's food lately and Jeff gave him some of our home-made canned applesauce and he ate it, so why not? The doctor said we could and he seemed ready so we tried and he likes it! Given he only gets about a tablespoon down but he loves sitting with us at the table in his own seat and eating just like us. Wow, I was told the second child would do things sooner because of the older sibling doing them but this is going so quickly! Hopefully we will get a good shot of his two tiny bottom teeth soon too.
Oh, and just ignore Calder crying in the background. He was being quite mean to all of us because he was jealous of Phaelen getting attention instead of him. Although he was being a pain we still love him just as much as Phaelen!

Johanna's new hair

Well, I did it again! I changed my hair at the beginning of the month and haven't posted a picture yet, so I took a video instead because it is built into my computer already and it was a lot easier than getting a good shot with the camera by myself. So, thanks to my awesome hair stylist Celeste Eaton (April's sister) I have another new do to add to my list and inspiration for the future!

Phaelen rolls over

I should have posted this about 2-3 weeks ago, but the same week that Phaelen popped his first tooth he also rolled over! By now he is a professional and can go both directions and roll multiple times in a row. Thankfully for big brother Calder he usually doesn't go across the room, but just so that he can see what Calder is doing. Calder is such a great help and trades Phaelen toys too. This is usually because Phaelen is trying to eat something of Calder's but none the less Calder gets him his own toys to chew on and play with. Let's hope this replacement method is continued and accepted for a long time to come. We hope everyone had a great 2008 and look forward to 2009 as much as us!
