Carrots

After our last check up the doctor suggested that a healthy boy like Ian might be ready to start solid foods early. So we gave him some rice cereal and he pretty much hated it, we tried some oatmeal and it was also a no go. However when we finally gave him 'real' food (at 5 months) he got so excited! He reaches for the spoon and shoves it in his mouth. What a boy. So here he is trying carrots for the first time.

The world according to me

Yes, I know. I haven't posted in forever. But hear me out. Life is very complicated right now. I have a house. I have a house with painted bedrooms. We spent all Easter weekend painting and it looks great. I am hiring painters to do the rest of the house because...well, I'm over it. This last weekend we got new furniture. There will be a beautiful sofa, chaise lounge, and bedroom set for Melly being delivered at the end of April as well as a new head and foot board for us. We still have a lot of little projects to do like resurfacing the kitchen counters (they are very scratched laminate)and refinishing the cabinets (20 years was not kind to them). But all in all, once the painters have finished, the cleaners will come and we are moving in on the 24th! Very very exciting. Once the painters are done I will put together a tour and put it up here for everyone to see.

In other news my surgery is scheduled for the 27th. Fast approaching but soon to be over. I have 3 weeks left of school before the summer break and Melly and Ian are both doing well. Ian is sitting up all by himself and is growing very large and happy. He will sit and 'talk' to himself or bounce like a crazy boy in his bouncy horse. Melody is busy making friends at daycare. She has 2 other little girls she pals around with and shows how to get into trouble. Little smartie. Both of them will be hanging out with me this summer so they will get a good dose of mommy time. Chris is doing well and working a lot. But he has vacation coming up and we are planning something. Not sure what yet, but something.

I will post pictures the next time I can and I'll try to post more often.

Cheers!
