Alyssa has been saying Megan is zero because she is not 1 year yet. So I said today that we can say she is a 1\/2 now. On her 6 month birthday we started cereal for the first time. No, I am not that anal . . . well, maybe, but today just seemed like the best day. I tried to start her all week, but the timing never worked out for pictures and Ethan being home and so on. So this morning was her first taste. She did good \u00e2\u20ac\u201d better than Alyssa did. Alyssa acted like I was feeding her grass, while Megan just played around with the “soup” in her mouth. She didn’t swallow much of it, but didn’t seem to mind the texture or taste. Alyssa helped out too and at one point Megan had two spoonfuls of cereal in her mouth. She does a pretty good job in the high chair if she is supported on both sides by blankets and a non-slip mat under her bottom. So we will work on the sitting as we work on eating.<\/p>\n

Megan also took her first ride in the swing this week. She loved it, and it allows me to play outside without having to hold her. But wouldn’t you know that Alyssa now wants a turn in the baby swing.<\/p>\n

Abilene was a big hit. We had a lot of fun with the family and celebrating Blakely’s 6th birthday. The kids would just yell, “we are going to jump!”. It was nice to let them do that on their own without supervision. No one got hurt and we didn’t even have any fights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
