Cheerio, Mate!

Hooray for Oliver! He's finally eating real food! Here are his first attempts and successes at eating a really solid food - Cheerios - and oh how happy he is! It's as if he's been waiting the whole of his six and one half months to finally get his own little mitts on something substantial. He shovels them in with his little rake fists ten at a time and chew, chew, cheeeews them up (with his TWO mini puppy teeth!) Proud boy! Proud Momma! What a relief! "Oh, yes? For me? Why, Thank you!"
"If I use two hands . . . I can get more in!! ALRIGHT!""Look, Mom! No hands!"
"Hooray for me!" (oh yeah, and he got some green beans too! Does it get any better than this??)

Smith Farms Part three

So, I think this is the last time we'll be at the farm this season - we got to know the tractor drivers pretty well, we finally got to go through the corn maze -- and we didn't even get lost!! We had a lot of fun with our MOPS group and Ezra got to spend some extra time with his little friend, Madelynn. We got to plant some cabbage and broccoli, and of course, picked out some great pumpkins!

Smith Farms Part two

So here are some photos from our fun time at the Smith Pumpkin Patch with cousins, Lily and Isaac, Aunti Kitti, Uncle Dusty, and Nana. Poppa and Daddy had to go to work at the last minute - but we still had a good time and picked out some great pumpkins!

Eli's Seven years old!

The Singing Artist

Here's Ezra singing his own version of B-I-N-G-O while he moves the paint around. I love how he responds when he realizes I'm watching him!
