Introducing Solids
This experience has been challenging to say the least! We have been trying to get Daniel to eat solids (mainly rice cereal and sweet potatoes for now), but any time we even put a spoonful of one of these near his mouth, he gags, spits and makes faces. Today I took some pictures of meal time (notice the cute bib Daddy got him from Florida). He gets so messy that I have to give him a bath after every feeding. What a hassle!! I love my job... :)

Sharrah's Visit
I absolutely LOVE this picture of all 3 of them!!
This last weekend Sharrah and Kevin came to visit! It was so good to see them again!! Kevin had enough frequent flyer miles to get both him and Sharrah tickets (thank you, Kevin!). Originally, Sharrah was coming to not only see us but to also go to our 10 year highschool reunion that I was organizing. However, that reunion didn't happen because pretty much no one could come. Anyway, that meant more time for me to spend with just her and Kevin. They flew in Friday and went to visit Andrea near Fort Smith, so Friday I didn't see them. Saturday we all (including the Osbon family) met at the Rolling Pin cafe for breakfast and had chocolate gravy and biscuits. Yum! Kevin was really looking forward to the chocolate gravy (he doesn't get that where he's from up north, poor guy - he needs to move down here...). After breakfast we went our separate ways (Sharrah had a wedding to go to that afternoon), but then met back up at my parents' house that evening for dinner. Phillip grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and we watched the Razorback game (well, kinda watched it; it was pretty boring). Besides my entire family, Sharrah and Kevin, and Krystal's family, Pam was also there and Andrea showed up too. It was a lot of fun and we got some cute pictures of Sharrah and the babies! Sunday after church and lunch, just us girls went to get some icecream from Shake's. This is an old tradition from our college days. Ok! Maybe I shouldn't say "old!" :) It was a short trip but I'm so thankful that Sharrah got to come and that we got to see her even if just for a couple of days. This was also her first time to see Daniel and Justus in person so that was very special!! We love you, Sharrah!!!!

My First Blog
Let's see...today I plan to create a blog (check), do some laundry and FOLD it, straighten up my room a bit (maybe even clean my bathroom...but that might be pushing it), cook supper, plant my two dwarf crape myrtles, AND take care of my beautiful baby boy!
Speaking of Daniel (yes, this blog will mostly be about him and my life as his mother!), last night we found that he had a tooth! His very first one! It has just barely popped through. I thought he had been teething because he has been so fussy and not sleeping well at night, but I had no idea the tooth would come through so fast! I was SO excited. He is just over 5 months and I thought it would be a little while longer before he got one. Phillip said he thought he saw the tooth a couple of days ago (but of course he didn't mention it to me, which puts him very high on the "maddened-mommy" scale). I will post a picture of Daniel that I took this morning (just knowing that he has a tooth in his mouth will make this picture more exciting...even though you can't actually see the tooth...yes, what can I say? I'm a new mom).
