Rice Cereal.....YUMMY!!

Roman had his first tasting of Rice cereal on December 6th.

It was a pretty exciting moment for his mommy :). . . . .and I imagine this is how Roman felt about it- -

"You're going to feed me WHAT?"

First spoonful- -

"WHAT is THIS?...... I'm not quite sure about this mom!"

"Hmmmmm, not so bad I guess."


"Actually, I think I might like it! Gimme more mom....gimme more!"


"Oh, this is de-lish. Yummers!"


"Can I have that bowl please? Is there anymore of that stuff in there?"

"Oh Boy!!.....Now that was tastey!"


"Are you supposed to wear the rice cereal too?? Because, if so, I am AWESOME! ":)

Friends are great!!

A couple weeks ago Roman & I were able to spend some time with one of my BFFs from college. We hadn't seen each other for nearly 3 years and it was like we had never been apart.:)

We talked about "the good ole days". . . . . and she kindly reminded me that I once told her she was a "One woman circus!". . . . .(one of our favorite movies in college was How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days). Ha!!.....can't believe I said that!

We talked & talked & talked, & laughed & laughed! Fun times! She also introduced me to my new favorite sushi place in Salt Lake.....Happy Sumo......so delicious!!!

Here's Roman and Ade getting to know each other.:) Ade was kind enough to share her baby toys with Roman.

It was such a fun visit!! I wish we lived closer so we could see each other more often. But it was good to catch-up, even if we only had a weekend to do it.

Love ya Mindz!

5 Months Old post coming soon.:)

MY fiRsT HaLLoWeEN!!

Let me tell you a little bit about my first Halloween- -

* * *
To start......mommy dressed me in ridiculous orange & black outfits all week long.

"It's all in the spirit of the holiday" she says.:)

One night during the week mom & grandma made some minature cakes, cupcakes I think they call 'em, with my cousins but of course I didn't even get to taste them. Doesn't seem fair does it??

* * *

Then papa stuck a knife in a couple pumpkins, pulled out their guts, carved a face in one of them & a spider in the other and put a candle down in the center of each.......

.......seemed a little strange to me but who am I to judge the traditions of holidays.

Just when I thought this holiday couldn't get more weird- -

my mom took off my cute orange & black outfit and and stuck me in this........

*

Seriously mom?? A duck??

I was so irresistibly cute in that costume though that I nearly got eaten by a demon for heaven's sake!!!

I didn't even cry or nothin'. :)

I later found out that wasn't really a demon. It was my cousin Jett. Apparently every child out there and even some adults dress in some weird outfit and pretend to be someone else for the night. Huh, who knew??

* * *

Anyway, back to me & my costume.

Allow me to demonstrate the versatility of the duck.......

Waddling Duck

Flying Duck
Smiley Duck

Sleepy Duck

Mom's Little Duck


Grandma's Little Duck

.......you get the idea.:)

Hope all you kids out there got more candy than I did for dressing up & being tortured with endless pictures.

Happy Weird Holiday!!:)
