So last week I started Ezra on solids. I waited to start Ryan on solids until she was six months and continued nursing her until she was almost a year.
It worked out well so I figured I would do the same with Ezra; but lo, Ezra is a strapping, HUNGRY
boy and although I am still nursing, I have to supplement with solids earlier than planned because he is bigger and now eats more often. I wasn't sure what he thought of them at first, but he seems to enjoy them now. What a grown-up boy!
As for Ryan, her "first" was a little less ta-da but I was proud.
I took her to a new play place with some girlfriends and their kids, and after only an hour of coaxing she actually went off on her own and played ...
on her own!
Now this may not seem like a big deal but it most definitely is. Ryan is painfully shy in public
and has a hard time venturing out by herself. We try not to push her, but we want her
to learn to be somewhat independent; then nursery won't appear to be a form of torture and Scott and I can go on more dates ... alone. Anyway, she had such a great time at the play place that Scott and I promptly took her back there two days later. This time, however, it was packed so Scott ended up as her playmate. Oh well. As I watched them it was hard to tell who was having more fun!

Getting prepared for his first solid meal. Nice pink highchair!
Not really sure about all of this. Since then we have become more enthusiastic.
Part of the structure at the "Out of this world" play place. Scott took Ryan into the far reaches of this exciting tunnel system and then convinced her to go with him down this large red slide. However, the girth of Scott's large, muscular shoulders prevented them from making it all the way down. They got lodged halfway down and had to do some creative maneuvering to squeeze out. Scott said it was also scary and dark.
Scott is the only parent using the race track (with Ryan right next to him), but none of the other kids seemed to notice.
So cute!!

That is so cute with Scott's head sticking out of the crowd! Ezra is such a cute boy. He and Ryan have a very similar look... adorable! You're so sweet, you look amazing yourself! I love your hair, i wish i was brave to do different things.
They are so cute! I love those kids. Hazel is finally digging solids. Thank goodness. It's funny how you can change the rules and not go as by the book with a second child. I kind of like not stressing so much. Good job being a mom!
Ezra is so cute in that highchair! We had such a great time at your house! Thanks for letting us come over and thanks for the cute clothes! I love you!
