First "Real" Food

Austin turned 6 months old on Sunday June 6th. For dinner we tried homemade Sweet Potatoes. Rebecca and I are going to try and make the boys baby food. We did sweet potatoes and carrots. It was Easier then I thought and fun. Here are some picture from that first "Real Meal" First Bite- what was that??
I'll try another bite

This is GOOD

YUMMY

HI Daddy!

GOOD BOY!

All done !

He ate all of the sweet potatoes and then all of his oatmeal:)

He LOVES playing with the spoon- after we finish

Austin First Time on the Boat

On Sunday, June 6th we took Austin out on the Boat. We went to Lake Normandy. It was an overcast day with potential for rain. We did get a small shower, but we were loaded and headed home before the downpour came. The boat ran great. It was nice to get back on the water.

A picture from our spot.
Austin in his lifejacket

The Jacket is as BIG as HIM

Standing up he could at least see and move his head

Tried+Hungry +stupid lifejacket=Meltdown

He did Really well- that jacket is very bulky, but it needs to be.

He fell asleep after he ate.

There will be many more days on the Lake.

Mommy's Model

I took a sewing class at the Children's Corner in Nashville and this is what I made. The class was a lot of fun, the shirt was difficult, but turned out cute- too bad it is too small now:( The Jon Jon was easy and I LOVE them. Austin will be sporting LOTS of these. The class was 5 weeks for 3 1/2 hours- it was fun to get out of the house and enjoy girl time. The class was full of other new mommies. I got a "new" Brother sewing and embroidery machine. I absolutely love it. I hope to start a Blog with all of my fun projects and pictures of my precious model.

Memorial Weekend

We started the weekend off with a picnic at Arrington Winery. This is such a beautiful place.

This is the third time we have tried to go--every time we get RAINED out:(

This time we braved the weather, it ended up raining, we ate our picnic dinner under umbrellas.

After the rain ended it was AWESOME.

We did not get to do the wine tasting, but we WILL BE BACK.
