Our Winter Adventure in March

it's snowing in denton!!! who would have thought? it was 70 degrees only days ago. thus begins our winter fairytale in march. it started out with a trip to the doctor for nico's 6 month shots and ended up with an afternoon spent with our great friends, the elliot's, after losing our electricity. it was an inconvenient yet pleasant surprise. neither one of us remembers seeing this much snow in denton. it was beautiful. and yet we are grateful that we don't experience this sort of weather more often. we're wimps when it comes to the cold! it was, nevertheless, an excuse to play...

First Bites

Nicolas turned 6 months yesterday! In honor of this event, we decided to start trying to feed him cereal as the doctor said he was ready for it if we chose to go that route. So, being the big eater that he is, we thought he would really like it. We also decided to document this milestone in his life. We expected some smiles and some eagerness on his part. Well, we were pretty much wrong. He obliged us by letting us put the spoon in his mouth a couple of times for some photo opps (pictured below) and then he pretty much pursed his lips and would not allow another spoonful to enter his mouth. He also cried every time he saw the spoon. We even let him hold it so he could see that it was safe. After all, he puts everything else in his mouth. Why should this be any different? But somehow, he knew. Today was our fifth day to try it and he's starting to come around. He still makes faces and won't voluntarily open his mouth, but at least he's swallowing some of it and he doesn't scream half the time :)
