Jenny flying

Here is a cute video of Jenny laughing while I toss her in the air. She is just starting to laugh out loud and I love it!!

Some More of Jenny's First Food

Here are some still photos of Jenny eating cereal for the first time. Now, her favorite thing to do while we are feeding her cereal is to take the spoon and munch on it. She is going to be feeding herself before we know it!!

Jenny's First Food

Well, her actual first taste of food was ice cream while we were on vacation. But, it was clear that she was ready for cereal. She would watch us eat and you could just see the desire in her eyes!! So, we tried cereal and she is enjoying it!!

Silly Hats

Jenny and I went down to the basement earlier this morning to hang out with Eli while he played. I thought this was a good time to try her in her exersaucer. She liked for about five minutes, but still needs to be a little more active for the full effect. When I got down there I noticed these Long John Silver hats sitting on Eli's table. We don't have a LJS anymore in West Knoxville so I couldn't figure out where they came from. Then I remembered that John and his manager ended up eating lunch there the week before our vacation in one of his territories. This was definitely a photo moment!!

This was the best I could get with Mason wearing a hat. As soon as I would try to put one on her she started swiping at it with her paws. I had Eli hold it on her until the last second before I shot this picture!! Oh, how I tortue my family!!

Brother Love!!!

Eli love, love, loves Jenny!! He is such a good big brother! On our way to gymnastics Monday he was so excited because Jenny had her hand hanging over the side of the car seat where he could reach it. He always wants to hold her hand! He held it all the way to gymnastics!!

Day VII-Charleston

After we checked out of the condo, we headed to Charleston for the day! We started things off with a local Farmer's Market that I love to go to every year! The main reason is for these little doughnuts that one vendor sells! So good!!! After the doughnuts, we walked a little and then found some fun things for Eli to do!!

Watching Eli ride a pony!

Since Eli has started taking gymnastics he loves to do flips!! He's really getting good at them, too!!

After checking in at the hotel and taking a nap with Jenny while Eli and Daddy ran around the hotel, we headed to our favorite Charleston ice cream place to finish off our trip!! So good!!

I even gave Jenny a little taste! She wasn't quite sure what to do with it!!

Well, we had a great vacation! It went too quickly, of course!! To be honest, I was exhausted when we got home. Jenny, I now realize, started teething during vacation and didn't sleep as good overnight. Even Eli woke up often during the night because he was "scared." We are starting to get back into the swing of things!! Including Mommy getting some nap time!!

Day VI-Last Day at the Beach

For our last day on Isle of Palms we kept it pretty low key. We headed to the beach in the morning and John and Eli spent most of the afternoon at the pool. As we did last year, we met the Bohannon's back at the beach later in the afternoon for family pictures. Here's what we got!!

Here we are last year. Jenny was just a tiny bean. I think I was about 4 weeks along!

Look how fat my foot is in this picture! I promise, it's not really that fat!!

Chillin' back at the condo before dinner!

Coming up next...out day in Charleston!!!

Vacation-Day V: The Children's Museum

On Thursday, we headed to the Charleston Children's Museum! This year I made sure my camera battery was fully charged since it died on me last year!! As expected, Eli had a blast!!

Water room!!

We ran into the Bohannon's there! Here's Eli & Caden playing together!!

Castle room!! Putting on a puppet show for Jenny!!
