first foods

“Robro” had his first stab at real “food” today (aka a little rice cereal with a lot of milk)–it’s basically soup, people–not that exciting, but for a momma it’s cause for celebration!

i’m celebrating his food-eating accomplishments because:
1. maybe he’ll start sleeping through the night (even though all the docs say it’s a myth)
2. he’s growing up (it’s a milestone, you know)–i’m celebrating and hating this at the same time
3. he’s just too cute with food all over those chubbo cheeks!

here’s a comparison of Sister and Brother eating their first foods:

they must be related,….they both give me that “i’m over it, mom” look.

and just a few more for the cute factor….

i love recording these little memories……

and especially like recording them with my new camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes, the hubs surprised me with an early mother’s day gift…..a nikon d3100 with two lenses!

i have no idea how it works, but even on “auto” it takes a million times better pictures than the old “point and shoot.”

here’s a few to prove my point:

NEW Camera:
