First Time For Everything

 Our sweet happy little boy has had several "firsts" this week, three to be exact. One of my favorite things about motherhood is watching him discover new things, it's been a good week. The first new thing this week was CHRISTMAS!!!! I love Christmas! Dainen was super cute and enjoyed opening presents, up until he drooled the paper into mushiness and we had to take it away, then he got ticked. He enjoyed his presents though, he got a bunch of new toys and some clothes too. Quinn and I also enjoyed our Christmas morning at home, we exchanged presents and just generally enjoyed the time together. Then we went to my parent's for more presents and games with family. We had a wonderful (though chaotic) Christmas.

The second "first"  this week was Dainen's half birthday. I find it kinda funny that it took his whole life to get to his half birthday. And it freaks me out to think that in just double this time he'll be one! So I try not to think about that. We didn't do anything special for his half birthday, but it was still a first so worth mentioning.

Happy six month old!

 The last "first" this week was solid food! I had mixed feelings about this (probably because nursing only got easy a month and a half ago) but when we tried feeding him some breastmilk on a spoon (to see if he was ready for spoons) this is the reaction we got:

He eagerly gulped it down and barely spilled a drop so we figured he was ready moved on to carrots:

As you can see he had no problems. Ok so he made some funny faces at first, but then he figured out what to do.

Oh and one more first that happened a few weeks back was rolling over, he goes from front to back very quickly now. He never did like tummy time so he's grateful to be able to get himself out of it.

It's crazy how fast he's learning and growing, it's constant! He's such a sweet baby, sure glad he's ours =).
