Puxatawny Phil, I stand corrected sir

My utmost apologies to Puxatawny Phil who predicted an early spring as our thousandth snow fell from the sky, Mommy was very skeptical to say the least! But that silly old groundhog was right!! I think Spring may be springing!! Oh my goodness baby boy it has been soooo nice outside! After last week's snow Mommy was not happy, in fact I started looking at real estate down south, really down south like Costa Rica because apparently you can get a really good deal there. Anyway just as the last snow was melting the sun began shining down like a beacon from the sky and magically as the temperature rose to the high 60's so did our spirits!! We are having so much fun in the great outdoors! We have been taking a walk in your stroller every afternoon! You love looking around and hearing the birds chirp!







One of your new favorite things is to go out on Mimi and Poppy's deck and let the wind go through your hair! You love it!! Another big milestone occurred this week, you started finger food and practicing with a sippy cup! Soooo big!!! Mommy cannot believe it and actually teared up a bit when I opened the first package of puffs for you (puffs are small fruit flavored cereal bites that melt in your mouth) unfortunately you are not sure about the whole finger food business! The first time Mommy set some out for you on your high chair you just looked at them, then you very methodically placed the puffs one at a time in your lap! I guess you figured if you couldn't see them then you didn't have to eat them! Then Mommy showed you how to put them in your mouth but you are not quite sure about them! You get a very funny look on your face and just suck the flavor off the puff (peach is your favorite) and then spit them out! We are going to try carrots next! Then there is the sippy cup, oh my goodness love! You are not really a fan, I'm going to be honest! The first time Mommy tried you wanted no part of that madness! The Mommy wised up and headed to Mimi's for reinforcements! You did a little better with Mimi's help but are still pretty skeptical! It is so fun to see your little cautious personality come out!


First Mimi shows you how to drink from the sippy cup


Then you try it with your hands


This is hard work Mimi! All tuckered out!

Can't wait until Saturday because Daddy and Mommy are taking you to the park for the very first time!! Pictures and stories to look forward to!
