Cereal time already!!

Yes, it's true... Charlie has started on that can't-turn-back process of learning how to eat real food. He wasn't all that successful the first few times, but I think he's starting to understand that its more than just a fun game with a colorful spoon. He's so entertaining! :) His pediatrician recommended that we try this once a day or so- not really for calorie intake but more for practice.We will start fruits and purees after the 6 month mark. That's when things will REALLY get fun!!

Blizzard 2011

Here are a few pictures of our street the morning of February 2nd, right after the  blizzard.

Here is a progression of the storm:

Videos, Palermo's and the Nature Museum

Charlie loves to giggle for daddy. Especially right after a diaper change!!

This was Charlie's first time sitting in the bumpo chair for a long period of time. He seemed a little confused that he was supported sitting up without an actual person behind him! Once he's comfortable with it, we will start in on rice cereal and then solid foods! So exciting... and messy. We are looking forward to it, but it seems like he is growing at light speed!!

This past weekend we went to Palermo's with the whole crew. The last time we were there we headed straight to the hospital after dinner to have a baby! Charlie even got a tiny taste of the famous Palermo's sauce and traditional italian ice. (he didn't like it very much- it was pretty funny.)
