A Visual Smattering...

Message from Momma...
Here's a few really cute pictures that I took of sweet Ellie Kate over the weekend.

The Verdict is Still Out!

Cy has been doing really well with rice cereal, so I thought we would move on to green beans. I've had our pantry stocked for weeks in anticipation of this day! Cy's opinion of these pureed beans of green...well, the verdict is still out! He put forth good effort, sported a variety of facial expressions and provided lots of laughs....green beans are on the menu again tomorrow night. So here you go, a guaranteed chuckle at Cy's expense- Enjoy!

...Surprise.
...Contemplation. (Wait for it!)...Concern. ...Distress (this expression was even accompanied by a full body shiver!) Okay...I think I'm ready for another bite. and...HE'S DONE!

Mom Rocks!

Rice Cereal Connoisseur...

Cy has become a cereal eating champ. It took him a while to warm up to the consistency of this delectable delight, but he's now quite the connoisseur. Yummy!

This is a Home Where Children Live...

This poem really convicts me...for all you mommies out there!

This is a Home Where Children Live

You may not find things all in place

Friend, when you enter here.

But, we're a home where children live,

We hold them very dear.

And you may find small fingerprints

And smudges on the wall.

When the kids are gone, we'll clean them up.

Right now, we're playing ball.

For there's one thing of which we're sure,

These children are on loan.

One day they're always underfoot,

Next thing you know, they're gone.

That's when we'll have a well-kept house,

When they're off on their own.

Right now, this is where children live,

A loved and lived-in home.

On the Verge...

Ladies & Gentlemen, our 5 month old is on the verge of being able to sit up on his very own! He can sit for 10-15 minutes at a time, on the floor, playing with his toys without any help from momma. I place the Boppy behind him in case he falls backwards, but he's doing the bulk of the work himself. Our little guy has gotten so big! Look at Cy smile with pride...a little praise goes a long way around here.

lookin' good... ...a little wobbly, but still smiling.

Baby Blues...

Disclaimer: I may be a bit biased...

...but I am convinced that my child has the most beautiful baby blue eyes I've ever seen! Our sweet angel~

Here are my 2 favorite guys at Cy's 1st "Trunk or Treat"

...and a pose with momma.
