Tools in His Hands

Adam is often seen carrying a tool of some sort in his right hand. Some of his favorites have been spatulas, whisks, and paintbrushes. Today he was delighted when he saw Mommy pull out the screwdrivers to use. At one point he was holding three at a time. What will he do with his hands as he grows up?

For the Love of Tomatoes

Adam has discovered a new love, cherry tomatoes. Daddy brought home cherry tomatoes that his boss Michaela brought in from her garden. Adam loves popping them in his mouth. Thanks Michaela!

Dinner amd Dessert All Churned Into One

We are very curious people. We recently got a new ice cream maker, and have been trying out different flavors. Somehow we came up with the idea of combining two of our favorite foods; pasta and ice cream. We decided to give it a try. We used a custard base then added rotini pasta, sautéed garden tomatoes, fresh basil, and garlic. We dubbed it "Frozen Pasta". Adam loved it, Daddy gave it three out of five stars, Mommy thought it was not bad for our first attempt. With a little tweaking we might have something here.
What will we come up with next?

Fruitful Errands

Adam enjoyed the fruits of the the Farmer's Market today. After running errands, fresh peaches were a welcome snack. He claimed one of the ears of corn and hauled it around with him for quite a while. Why don't all trips taste this good?

Wanna Share?

Adam enjoyed his first graham cracker. He was even generous enough to want to share with Mommy.

Dinner in Bed

Breakfast of Champions

Breakfast Bowl

Look, Mom I can do it all by myself!

Lunch in Bed

Mommy spent the day in bed sick. Adam kept her company and shared the snacks Daddy brought them. He loves to drink out of real cups, and eat whatever we are eating. Between Daddy & Adam, Mommy was well cared for. Thanks, guys.

Tables of Fun

Today was a full day for Adam.

Adam and Mommy went out to lunch with Grandma Vanessa and Aunt Caitlin to celebrate Grandma's birthday. He enjoyed seeing them. Adam loves interacting with people especially his people. He had his first taste of Olive Garden bread sticks, and was sold on them. He covered his clothes with a gooey teething biscuit, then covered Mommy and Aunt Caitlin with water from Aunt Caitie's glass.

This evening we went over to Garrett and Molly Summers home. He was happy to see Wesley and Liam. He gave both of them hugs upon our arrival. We had an Easter Family Home Evening, egg hunt, and dinner together. Adam found three eggs, and got to experience his first gold fish cracker. We all enjoyed our visit.

We are grateful for good people who fill our lives, and our tummies.

Please, Sir, I Want Some More

In honor of Adam's six month birthday he got yogurt for the very first time. This is his first dairy product (of many to come.) He clearly enjoyed the yogurt, but every time we tried to capture the moment he changed expression.
These past six months have been filled with joy and awe. We are very grateful that this special little guy is a part of our forever family. We look forward to many more birthday celebrations and discoveries with him.

Slimy Green Gopher Guts

Hungry? Adam would be happy to share.

Eliminating The Middle-Man

Adam decided there was a more efficient way of eating his breakfast. Mommy had been spoon feeding him, when he suddenly grabbed the squash dish with both hands. Perhaps that is why f-a-s-t is in breakfast.

Taking It Easy in the BIG Chair

Adam leaned back and relaxed after finishing his dinner of squash. He has been eating baby food twice a day, breakfast and dinner. Today during lunch, he made it known that he too would like some big people food. So, after a plentiful day of rice cereal, pears, and squash, in addition to his normal nursings, he was quite satisfied. This little boy does love to eat.

Asparagus Extravaganza

Tonight Adam feasted on pureed asparagus. It was his first time eating in his new highchair, which was given to him by friends from church. He thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It has become his habit to wipe his face with his bib. Adam likes to dig right in, but makes no delay in cleaning up when he's finished. It is so cute to watch his budding personality emerge.

Finger-Licking Good

This Is A Spoon

The long awaited day finally arrived. Adam had his very first baby cereal this evening. He took to the spoon quickly and was more than willing to eat this new food. It is fun to watch his excitement as he discovers his world. Just wait baby, the fun has just begun.

After all that hard work, Adam zonked out.
