Busy Busy!!



We have been so busy lately! BBQ's, weddings, swimming, family visiting, rodeos, rice cereal and more! No time to do anything it seems..it feels like everything takes 10 times longer to do now that I have the baby. No more extended shopping trips..darn!




















We have been having some great adventures...Zoe's uncle Matt (my brother) and his finacee visited from California, Mommy went to a rodeo and left Zoe with Ho Ho (my sister), we fed Zoe her very first Rice cereal, and we went to Cul-de-sac of FIRE!








My brother Matt finally got to see little Zoe which was fun..he thought she was adorable! we went to the Animal Planet expo which turned out to be a dud..it was TOO hot that day to be outside for too long. While Matt was in town we went to the Spanish Fork Rodeo which was a blast. Cory had to work and I didn't want to take the baby alone so my sister agreed to watch my baby and her newborn while we took her 2 1/2 year old to the rodeo. It was a good time! Poor little Zoe didn't have fun though she cried really hard for almost an hour and then finally fell asleep. I felt bad!




















Little Zoe was so funny when we were trying to feed her the cereal. At first she was trying to "latch" onto the spoon and suckle which didn't work so good. Then she got really frustrated. And in the end she seemed to be okay with the cereal. We have been giving her cereal once a day and it seems to be going well. So we'll see when I dare to try something else..any advice on this from mommies who have been there would be appreciated!!






















The last adventure we had was Cul-de-sac of FIRE..a friend of ours lives on a cul-de-sac (hence the name) and each year has a BBQ and fire cracker show. It started out really small just the friends but has now grown into a pretty big party. They charge $20 per adult and they do a really nice BBQ, buy the fire crackers, and make a shirt for everyone. This was Zoe's first fire cracker adventure and she LOVED it!!! It was so fun watching her because she would wave her arms all around and kind of jump on my lap. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen! Summer is so much fun!

What a lot of fun. for feeding, in the beginning i just hold the edge of the spoon to their mouth and let them sort of drink it in. they get better at it as time goes on.

Looks like you guys are having fun & Zoe is a cutie too. We are going to start Eli on the rice cereal later this week when my brothers are visiting. He is really wanting food, so it should be exciting.
