Big Boy High Chair

As Ben continues to get bigger, he has become more and more interested in food. Last night, he was particularly fussy, so we decided to give him some oatmeal (as approved by his doctor). This is not the first time he has tried eating from a spoon, but it is the first time he has sat in his "big boy" chair to eat! Look how happy and excited he is!

Apple Picking

On Saturday, Lily and I went apple picking at Homestead Farms in Poolesville. Lily has always loved picking her own fruit, although she doesn't always want to eat what she picks. She loves apples, however, so apple picking is always a big hit!

"Daddy, I think I see a good one!"

"Yup! Can I eat this one?"

Ben scoots backwards

Guess what we're doing this weekend?  Baby proofing!  (again)  Being able to say, "Hey Lily, put away this toy before Ben slimes it!" has been a great way to get her to clean up.



We really do feed him...

But Ben really wanted to eat the tablecloth!

Our two cuties

The stars aligned and both children were cooperative and smiled!!!!

Kennywood!!!

Last week we were in Pittsburgh, and while we did a lot of fun things, Lily's favorite thing was KENNYWOOD!  We were SHOCKED that she road all the rides in Kiddieland as well as the big carousel (x2), the cars you get to "drive," and the boats.  As well as the "Little Phantom" roller coaster twice.  If we had let her stay longer, she probably would have been on the Jack Rabbit (a real wooden rollercoaster which for some weird reason you only have to be 36 in to ride with a parent for those of you not from Pittsburgh).  Ben's favorite thing was probably sleeping over at Grammy's, where he got a lot of loving and some fun walks in the stroller.    Here are some pictures from Kennywood.  And one of Ben looking cute.
