The Baby Blog

A little over a month since our last update-things have been busy! Lily is 19 months old & Ben is almost 6 months old. Ben is now eating rice cereal and I gave him his first taste of carrots last week. He has now discovered his hands as his favorite toy, he doesn't say much but when he does decide to babble or cry it is loud! He has quite the booming voice- I think he got that from my side :) He also likes to tap his hand on the table when he's in a high chair and he grabs his toes when he's lying on the floor. Lily is learning something new everyday- new words and new abilities. She loves routine and thrives in it. She has started to "help" me when I change Ben's diaper and I even taught her how to throw the diaper away in the trash (SWEET!) - She has learned how to color and has a special place in her heart for Elmo. She watches Sesamee Street and I got her an Elmo coloring book because she says his name a lot! With the warm weather she wants to go outside to "wattssss" (walk). She is trying to pronounce the end of words now- like for Book she says "Buuts" She is also eating with utensils making our mealtimes quite the event. Eric & I have been very busy this winter/spring. I've been teaching a lot of dance classes and he has been working hard at Belcan and at home. We are looking fwd to nice weather where we can relax outside with the family and also schedule a possible vacation or at least a date! :) haha.
Since my last blog we've had valentine's day, the schroeder family reunion, the Blizzard of 08, Easter holiday, some visitors, my bday, and warm sunny days too! Take a look at some new photos, more at our shutterfly website.
