On Eating and Outside Time

This last week seemed to creep and fly by at the same time. My friend ended up coming out to spend time with us anyway. We spent time knitting, cooking and of course playing with Liam. She made Liam a really cute pair of mittens with a string to put through his coat so they don't get lost. If you look closely you can see them in the stroller picture. He is really decked out in the homemade goods in that picture. My mom made the quilt, I made the booties and hat and Michelle made the mitts. What a lucky baby. I also took this picture of him outside in his sled, the snow was mostly gone and slush had taken its place unfortunately. Right now there is almost no snow and our yard has a small lake in it, at least our driveway isn't flooded like our neighbors is. He is sporting a toasty warm outfit made out of organic cotton from Michelle. She does great work.
We are making progress with eating and moving at light speed it seems through the stages. It seems like yesterday I was feeding him his first bit of rice cereal and now he is starting to experiment with feeding himself and picking up soggy O's off his tray (he still doesn't have it down but its fun to watch). He makes more of a mess than anything and sorry Gin gin those are indeed carrots on his face. You will be happy to know though, he doesn't want to eat his beans unless I add something sweet like apples!!
This afternoon we are going to the Library to sign up for their baby story time and pick up some audio books for Brody. As you can see he loves his books. Right now we are reading Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White. We also read lots of board books like this one. He likes to carry them around when he is in his walker.
I just peaked my head outside and its raining again and 37 degrees!! Crazy weather. Brody said this morning up on the slope it was in the 20 below range. Keep warm thoughts for him.
Swim Lesson sign up is on February 3rd, more on that to come.
