After our birthday bonanza a few weeks ago, I have had no desire to blog. Sometimes I just don't feel like I have anything to say. I do plan on totally giving my blog a make-over soon. So I can't wait to unveil the new look!
We're working on eating more solids and less bottle. But no one tells you how difficult it is to transition from all meals in a bottle to all solids and milk in a cup! E wants his bottle and yet, I don't want him to have funky teeth when he gets older. Do I just go cold turkey and never give him a bottle again? He's great with a sippy cup and straws, but he still enjoys his cuddle time with Momma and a bottle. Oh and he doesn't actually call me Momma... he says MOM. Just mom. I love it!
To beat the heat on a 90+ degree day, we got out the kiddie pool. It was a splashing success!
My cousin and his wife had their baby girl Isla baptized a few weekends ago. Afterwards we got all the cousin kiddos together and snapped some pics.
On a side note, both my husband and I only have one sibling. I have one brother and so does my husband. My brother Buddy has Down's Syndrome and will not be having children. My husband's brother Peter lives in Taiwan with his wife. And although they don't have children yet, even when they do we're not sure how often we will see them.
It's really important for me for Everett to have cousins. I have the best cousins, I mean my cousin Kelly is totally one of my BFFs! So although he may not have first cousins yet, he will always have my cousin's children and I hope they become great pals!
Dawson's Creek is on Netflix and I'm reliving my teenage angst... with a big vocabulary! Capeside lives!
In the mean time, this is what I have been up to...

| I scored the mother load of craft supplies at a church garage sale! Calico heaven!!! |

| grapes & blueberries, cucumber sticks in hummus, and whole grain pasta with peas and homemade pesto from Grandpa & Grandma Brian & Betty |

The other night while watching Parenthood one of the teens used a big word and I thought of Dawson's Crack, and that was before I went and watched it on Netflix.
