A Few Firsts . . . .

Cael's been trying a lot of new things lately!  Here are just a few.

For awhile, he was constantly sucking on his lower lip.  He seems to have moved past this phase, but wasn't it cute?!?

After Cael's awesome babysitter Sheri informed us that Cael was enjoying the jumper at her house, we decided to invest.  It's been worth every penny!  Cael keeps plenty entertained with this thing.  He still hasn't figured out the piano, but he really loves chewing on and playing with the flowers you can see as well as a frog you can't see.  He loves to jump up and down and although he's often content to just play by himself, he really enjoys it when someone else joins in the fun.

(On a side note, my sister also has one of these and when she was watching Cael a week or so ago, Ayden climbed right in with Cael--it was too cute!)

This is a picture of Cael's first time eating rice cereal.  I don't know how kids eat that stuff!  I licked my finger off while feeding him one time and just about gagged.  That stuff is TERRIBLE!  Fortunately for us, Cael seems to like it.

Here, Cael's trying his sippy cup for the first time.  Alright, the only time.  I've been a little lazy and haven't pulled it out since then.  Let's just say that the first time Cael was more interested in biting the sippy part that in drinking what came out of it.

The first vegetable we tried with Cael was peas.  It took him a minute, but he LOVES them now.  He's also tried green beans and sweet potatoes and loves them all.  I think he's going to take after his dad.  When you feed him, he leans forward to reach the spoon faster until he's almost doubled over.  Cute boy!
