5.5 Months

Wow, I've been a bit delinquent in posting! 2 weeks ago Adam started on solids, he's really enjoying it. So far he has had sweet potatoes, peas, and apples. At first he wasn't sure what to make of food, but now he knows that it's time to get down to business when he is in his highchair. When he sees the spoon coming, he opens his mouth and often wants to grab the spoon to "help" feed.  He gets really upset if you wait to feed him his next bite.  He wants his food and he wants it right away!

I've been really fortunate to become friends with two other new moms in the area.  I met them through a class offered at my hospital. We've been been getting together weekly since Adam has been one month.  Usually we go for a long walk, 4 to 6 miles, once a week. It doesn't really seem like exercise when you get to chat the whole time.

Last weekend we traveled up to Rye to visit the Sonneborns, especially Brian and Angela who returned from California.  Adam enjoyed seeing his grandparents and especially likes spending time with his cousin, Keira.

Adam was camera shy.

Love going for a walk

Another day another walk (and another photo op)

From another visit, love those babies :)

 Happy boy
