Say AHHHH, Adam

We've discovered that Grady and Colin get super-excited to feed Adam.  So excited, in fact, that we can use "feeding Adam" as a reward for good listening, sharing, picking up toys, etc.

 

Colin fed Adam tonight: turkey, sweet potatoes, zucchini, and black beans.  Yum.

Big kid table

Saturday pajama dinner.  Contrary to the smiles, the big boys aren't particularly thrilled with Adam's ability to surf their table.

Saying adios to the baby bangs...

At 8 months old, Adam sat for his first haircut.  Bye-bye, baby bangs and ear mullets!

Check out his two bottom chompers, too.

 

 

Grady and Colin had fun with the combs and water...

 

 



Appetizers

A few nights ago while I was fixing dinner, Grady came into the kitchen, paused next to me and said "Mommy, what are you doing?"

 

I replied that I was fixing dinner, and that it was almost ready.

 

He says "Oh.  May I have some strawberries to start?"

 

To start.  As in strawberries for appetizers.  Because, you know, we always have an appetizer course before the main meal...

Rolling, rolling, rolling...

Four days shy of four months old, and Adam decided to finally figure out how to get his arm and shoulder out from under him and roll from back to front.

Hurray!

Baseball!

Grady and Daddy went to see a Bowie Baysox game last night.  The Baysox are a minor league farm team for the Orioles. 

Grady was super excited for the baseball game.  He joined the kids club, gave Louie the mascot a high five, learned "take me out to the ball game", and when to yell "CHARGE!" at the appropriate times.

He also got to run the bases after the game with the other kids (no parents allowed).  He came home full of excitement over getting to "run on the baseball dirt."

But the highlight of the night was when Daddy caught a foul ball for him.  Not sure which one of them was more excited.

Here are a couple pictures from the evening.  Even though the Baysox lost to the Harrisburg Senators 3-2, they had a great time!

Tummy time

Almost four weeks old now and Adam is doing great!  It's been warm here lately which means shorts for everyone and we're getting to enjoy seeing his cute, yet scrawny, baby chicken legs.
