Happy little man...

Has anybody seen my baby?? I think I lost him in all those rolls. :)

I wanted to post some of our favorite new photos. Rory has been SO unbelievably happy at times in the past few weeks (at other times he's a grouch, but more often he's the happy man). He's been doing arts and crafts at school, so we already have paintings up on the fridge and are starting a book of his artwork, like the proud moms we are. He loves his Johnny Jumper, but has to be closely watched to enjoy it because he tends to swing himself sideways into the door frame more often than he jumps, but as you can see from the photo, he has a blast in it.

We are already experiencing our first daycare teacher leaving, which is super sad. We really liked her and felt like she had a good connection with Mr. Rory. He lights up with a big smile when we walk in and see her. Alas, the high turnover in daycares is always an issue because its a very hard job, physically and emotionally and they just don't make enough money to make it worth most people staying long term. I'm sure we will experience several "teacher turn-overs" in his daycare days, but this one is particularly sad since she was his first teacher and clearly loves him.

On a fun note...we are starting him on solid foods this weekend. He's going to try sweet potato. Its very exciting for everyone because he eats so much that I worry he's going to run out of milk sometimes at daycare, so this will give us another food option. Also, it gives Mama Bev a chance to be the food-Mama for a change, which she has been super excited about. We like to say is was her cooking for me when I was pregnant that contributed to him being such a healthy baby to start, and her way of getting to share in the "growing" of the baby. Now she'll get to once again be a part of "growing" our little boy. We'll let you know how it goes.
