Solids!

Stockton started SOLIDS! And the verdict? He LOVES food (as if we were concerned it would be any different). :) I was surprised by how well he did, not only with enjoying the food, but with the actual eating part as well. He knew just what to do and how to do it, which made it a lot more fun. I don't know why, but when he opens that little mouth of his for more food I think it's one of the most adorable things ever, and if he adds an "Mmmmmmmm..." to it, then it's beyond adorable (he tends to do this A LOT when he eats oatmeal mixed with fruit)! :) It's not very hard to get Stocky to smile--he LOVES to smile--but here he is after finishing his first meal...happy happy happy!

As much as I love the fact that Stockton likes his food, I loved watching him and being there with him even more:

"It's the company, not the cooking, that makes a meal"

Stockton: You are GREAT compay!

Back to Blogging

Back to blogging! Wow! Where has the time gone? My last post was December 9th! And I was behind back then! It's true...I'm almost 3 months behind--shame on me!

Have you ever looked back on your blog and thought "Hmmmm... These kids are ADORABLE, yet this needs to go a new direction; it needs something more than faces and places." Well I have. And hopefully I can figure out a way to make it more satisfying to me and my kids when they're old enough to read through it all and learn about us as a little family. I have decided to use the following quotes as my guide:

"When our children were very small, I started to write down a few things about what happened every day...The prompting came to me 'I'm not giving you these experiences for yourself. Write them down.' I recorded those things so that my children could have the memory someday when they would need it. Have I seen the hand of God reach out and touch us or our children or our family today?" --Elder Eyring--

"To you women of today, who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many--now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences, and some of your musings."--President Gordon B Hinckley--


One forewarning: I AM going to try and catch up as much as I can, so it might take a few weeks before I'm posting about present day--we'll see :) Feel free to catch up with us, or join back in when we're in the here and now!
