Mondays

"Rainy days and Monday always get me down..."

I thought about that song today and how it isn't true for me! I love Mondays because it is play group day. Evan and I went to Karin and Elijah's for a pool party. Just about the time we got to the pool it was time for Evan to take a nap so we didn't swim too long. It was better in order for either one of us to get too much sun. Evan took a nap on my lap while I talked to Thorna for a while as her baby London slept on her lap too.

Evan is doing great with starting solid food. He has had these foods so far: carrot, sweet potato, avocado, rice cereal, oatmeal, plums, peaches, banana and pear. I gave him a little chicken lastnight and he loved it. I think next will be chicken, squash, peas and maybe mango? He loves carrots. So-far that is his absolute favorite. He will eat those more than anything else. A success right now is eating more than a couple of bites. I am hoping to find a fruit he likes so I can add that to his cereal in the morning. We are eating together as a family each night and it has really helped him to encourage his eating. It is fun to all share food together. It is the way it should be!

Evan is enjoying his new car seat. He is so much more comfortable. He likes to look out the window. His seat is located on the far right behind the front passenger seat so he has a whole world to watch as we are driving.

He slept well lastnight. He slept for five hours in a row. He has only done that three times so far. I hope tonight is good for us too.
