Russell's first food.

Here are the pictures of Russell's first food...I think it was banana.  He has had several other things but he still makes the same face!! It's so funny.

 The next time I gave him food I tried sweet potatoes and I added a lot more pumped milk so it would taste a little bit more familiar but he still id not a big fan.

 Lately I have been just giving him a little bit of what I am having.  SAME FACE.

 I don't know why this irritates me so much but Toby is way better at feeding Russell.  He is so clean when he is done.  But as soon as I get in there he is a mess.  I have way more baby feeding experience.  I really need to get over it because I love that Toby is such a natural...with some things.

The newest idea is to steam the sweet potatoes and then chop them up nice and small...then I just put them on the tray.  Russell can then just play and put it in his mouth and I don't have to worry about feeding him while I am starving and it is his favorite toy...one that he can put in his mouth and that I am not frustrated when I find it in his diaper.

Russell's First Real Laugh!!

Oh I was so excited!!

You can't really hear but Russell is laughing and loving have some time to play with Uncle Patrick.

I am a total slacker.  I am so sorry that I haven't blogged in so long.  Here is some stuff from way back in September...( where has the time gone?)

Toby's brother Patrick baptized his daughter the first Saturday in September.  It was so awesome to spend time with them.  The boys mom was able to come out from Georgia for the baptism too.  Here is a picture of Toby, Russell, Kelsey, Whitney, Breanna, and I at the copper mines.

This place was crazy!!

Unfortunately I didn't get many pictures.  But I did remember to pull out the camera for these funny pictures.

Nana (Ruth Toby's mom) got the kids these funny glasses.

I think it's funny how even with these funny glasses Whitney still look so cute.

So the weekend consisted of hanging out going to Hail Air force Base, the copper mine and the main event Breanna's Baptism.  It was great to spent the weekend with Toby's family.  We always enjoy our time with them!!
