Camping!!

Every Labor Day Weekend, we go to Nehalem Bay State Park for our all church camp out. We always have so much fun and this year was no different. Abbie is now old enough to go play with her big girl friends without mommy watching her every move, and she loved it! This was Ethan's first camping trip, and he had a blast as well!

On the tilt-a-whirl at Seaside...so fun!

Abbie loves to dress herself and she changes clothes multiple times throughout the day. Here is one of the outfits she put together:)

Trying to get a picture with all of them looking at the camera at the same time was nearly impossible:) Abbie and Ethan with grandma and grandpa and great-grandma Maria.

Abbie loves puzzles...she is quite good at them too:) Here she is showing me the puzzle she put together all by herself!

Ethan's First Food!

I really wanted to wait until Ethan was 6 months old to feed him any "real food", but it just wasn't going to happen! We could tell he was ready, as he was showing all the classic signs. So we finally gave in about a week after he turned 5 months. He was sooo interested in our food and would just watch the food go from our plates to our mouths. Poor guy:) His first meal was rice cereal and big sissy got to feed him his first bite!
