Pumpkin Patch

Our first Halloween in Menifee, woohoo! This is a pumpkin patch about 5 minutes from our house. We met some friends there and had a blast, super cute place!

Utah Trip

At the end of the summer we went on a little road trip to Utah to visit our friends the Dixons and Mortensens. Although I was sick for one of the days, we still managed to do lots of fun things. We went to Park City and walked around the farmers market. There were a couple bands we stopped and listened to that Samson loved. We went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. And we just had a good time catching up with old friends. Oh, and we were able to see Uncle Travis and Diana, that's always fun times! On the way there, and the way home we stayed in Vegas.

Seri's 6 Month Stats

Seri had her 6 month appointment last week (I know, I've been horrible with blogging lately). She weighed in at 12 lbs. 11 oz., her height was 24.25". She's in the 5% for both. Her shots went well, she's a pretty tough cookie. The only shot that seemed to hurt her for a couple days was her flu shot. I wasn't going to get her one, but some how got suckered into it once we were there. Besides that, she's doing great. She loves grabbing her feet, and tries very hard to get them to her mouth, but has not succeeded at that yet. She's getting more stable sitting on her bum, she lasts for about 5 seconds before she starts leaning forward. She's still not a fan of solids. I've tried a few times since Uncle Travis fed her, but she wasn't into it. I did give her some watermelon in one of those mesh things yesterday, and she went to town on that! Shoulda taken a picture, darn! I will post pics soon.......

Seri's First Cereal

There's an Indian tradition where the brother of the mom gives the baby their first bite of cereal with a silver spoon and bowl. Uncle Travis was here visiting so he gave Serianna her first bites, and she loved it! I wasn't sure if she was ready yet, but she slurped it right down, and then tried to take the spoon from him! After she was done eating, we put 4 symbolic items in front of her to see which one she picked up first. There was a book, lettuce (supposed to be dirt), money and a pen. She first tried to get the money, but couldn't get it off the tray, so then she went for the lettuce. This suggests she's going to be working with the earth. It was a fun little ceremony, and I'm excited to give her more food, maybe she'll chunk up!

Just For Fun

I did a little photo shoot with Seri today in a couple things she's about to grow out of, but are so cute I needed pictures before she did! Okay, maybe the little pink beanie is border line to small already, but she can still rock it!

A Day Off

This past Sunday I got a day off with my good friend Irma, in San Clemente. Unfortunately, when I first got there I wasn't feeling well so I ended up taking a long nap! (I'm so fun to hang out with!) But after I woke up I felt a lot better, and we were able to do some fun things. We saw the movie Julie on Julia (very good, I recommend it), we sat on the beach and visited (one of my favorite things to do), and we had a delicious dinner at Beach Fire in honor of Julia Child! ;) Or at least that was our excuse for ordering expensive items. Although I thought my head might split, I had a great time and felt totally re energized by the end of the day. Thanks Sal for being brave (this was his first day with both kids without me, and he did great!)
