State Fair

After sitting in traffic for 2 hours we were all a little grumpy when we arrived at the fair. But it was nothing that some high calorie treats couldn't fix! The boys had corn dogs and Jerry and I had Indian Tacos. Mikey had a corn cob but was too busy watching the crowd to eat much. He didn't even want to be pushed around in the stroller so I carried him the entire time. We always make big plans for the fair but end up waiting in line for food most of the time. Either way, we left with full tummys, an empty wallet and some junky fair toys. A success!    

A good boy

So all I have to do to be Mom's favorite is take naps? Sweet!

Six months old

The best thing about being 6 months old is sucking on my own toes! So good...

Sunday Fun (but it's Sunday so not too much fun)

I know our living room looks like a litter box but it is actually the Sunday paper that the boys are shredding for the compost bin. Jason kept yelling, "Happy Birthday!" as he threw the paper in the air.

The Baby Food Project #1

After finding out that jarred baby food costs a dollar (it was just 39 cents when I was a baby!) I decided to start a baby food project. First up: baked sweet potato and applesauce. Now all I have to do is see if Mikey likes them.

Five months old

At 5 months old, this baby goes everywhere! The only time he spends at home is when he is asleep in his crib. He smiles easily at strangers and draws attention everywhere he goes. I've concluded that everyone loves to see a smiling chubby baby.

Makin' Cake!

Grandma gave us some big zucchini from her garden so we made a chocolate zucchini cake. The best part about baking is licking the spoon when we are finished.
