Ryan's First Foods!

Ryan finally started on cereal about a week after he turned 5 months old. Our pediatrician gave us the ok to start at 4 months, but I just wasn't quite ready yet. Part of me was just nervous to have two boys in booster chairs at the same time, and I wasn't sure how I was going to juggle everything. It hasn't been as difficult as I imagined and Ryan loves to be spoon fed! After his 6 month appointment we started him on veggies and fruits. His first taste of something other than cereal was peas and he LOVED them! He's also had butternut squash, green beans, peaches, avocado, and banana and hasn't really disliked any of it :) Here is our big boy eating his big boy food:

Thanks Brian and Stacey for letting us stay with you! We can't wait to see you again!

Clearwater Beach

The day before we left Florida we finally made it to the beach. We headed to Clearwater Beach with an old friend of Tim's and his family. Jake got to put his toes in the ocean for the very first time! Here are photos from our day.


First steps in the ocean!

Soooo sleepy!
