7 Months!

I feel like this month has been FULL of new things for Reece.  On the evening of Easter Sunday we tried avocados.  This was his first taste of anything other than breast milk.  It did not go over very well. There were many faces and full body shudders to let us know that he wasn't all that happy about what he was eating.  In the last month he's tried carrots and bananas, all with pretty much the same response. This will be a slow going thing, but breast milk is what's best for him, so we're going with it.  For now :)



The Easter Bunny put a cup in his Easter basket.  We give it to him when he eats solids with water in it.  He gets it at other random times during the day.  He hasn't really figured out that stuff comes out of it.  He's happier gumming the attached lid or using it as a drumstick.



You want me to eat WHAT?!?!  No thanks mama, I'm not a big fan of carrots.



We've had a few days where it actually felt like spring.  He didn't react the way most babies react to feeling the grass on fingers and toes. He's actually pretty ok with it.



Grass is fun to play with :)



This picture cracks me up.  He had this mohawk all day!  Woke up with major bed head and it didn't get better despite what I tried to do.

Gotta love consignment sales.  This swing came from my first experience with a major sale.  I wasn't all that impressed though.  He's pretty impressed with the swing.  Many giggles and smiles are had when he's playing in it.
  

Ready for baseball season to start.  Daddy is helping coach Eli's team and Eli is also playing travel Sunday ball.  Reece is all set for games to start!
