It's sunny in my head...

A day or two of blue, sunny skies mixed in with mostly gray, snowy skies was like a breath of fresh air this last week. Gives me hope that maybe...just maybe...Spring will be here sooner, rather than later. For now, it'll just have to be sunny in my head...

This little guy makes me happy when skies are gray...

Ben hates to eat...I think I've shared this before. Anyway, after trying a million and one things to get him to try new foods, I decided to go back to the basics. I printed off the food pyramid for him and explained the importance, again, of eating from all of the food groups and VOILA...it worked like magic. The kid is trying anything and everything...it's CRAZY! Chili...stirfry....vegetables...oatmeal...you name it! He even declared his LOVE of broccoli this week...what?! He's been letting me know if I've missed a food group in his meal... "Um, Mom, you forgot to include a grain in this meal." Now, if I could just get him to eat a meal at a pace that is reasonable (i.e. under two hours) we'd really be on to something. :)

Silly boys...

Dad and his buddies...

Sunshine boy...

Andy is starting to sit up on his own for longer periods of time before he slowly tips to one side and lands on his belly.

A few days shy of hitting the six month mark...

He devoured some peach banana oatmeal for breakfast this morning and he was all smiles! (I'm so excited for toothy grins now!)

I tried to pull down Nat's tutu, but she insisted on hiking it up..."No, Mommy! I dood it!"

And finally...a typical Nat face...silly, but cute.
