Trying New Foods....

Madison gave us a pretty clear hint the other day that she might be interested in eating something other than a bottle. She grabbed onto Daddy's bowl with both hands and was not about to let go without a fight. She did eventually free her hands....only because she was then reaching for his Diet Coke can!So we broke out the rice cereal, spoons, bowls, bumbo seats and a very helpful big sister (that's me!) and gave it a go...

As you can see, Kennedy and I were both thrilled with this new adventure:

We love how closely Kennedy is tracking this spoon as it goes into her sister's mouth!

I got extra brave and tried to feed both girls at the same time:

I'm not sure you can see in this group photo just how messy this experiment turned out to be, but Madison and Kennedy were both very happy girls!

Harrison got brave and decided to eat some mashed potatoes (an old favorite of his that he had recently decided he didn't like). He gave them a second chance and didn't bother for a plate or his own spoon and went straight for Mommy's stirring spoon....he obviously likes them again....

Me, on the other hand.....I have never liked them and I'm pretty certain I still won't....
You would think they were feeding me liver.....the way I acted, it sure tasted the same!
Daddy snapped this shot of Harrison trying out the new Chocolate Cheerios one morning....once again, he didn't bother with a bowl or spoon of his own....

It's hard to believe that 3 weeks have passed since the last time we posted anything on our blog....things have certainly picked up speed around here and Mom & Dad are finding it harder to get anything accomplished other than taking care of their four kiddos. Luckily, they seem pretty happy to spend time with us!

The biggest news is that my cousin Abbey (and Aunt Amy along with baby-to-be) are coming tomorrow to visit for an entire week! We have been counting down the days (literally, we made a countdown calendar!) and cannot wait to see them walk off that plane tomorrow! Hopefully we'll manage to take, post and share a few pictures of our visit!
