Well, she's off! We started Evie Joy on sweet potato puree tonight as her first solid food. It went in, it came out. She made faces and mostly kept her little tongue poised so as not to allow any more of it to grace her pristine mouth. We, of course, video taped the whole thing. She did enjoy chewing on her spoons so in the end we allowed that and moved on to our own meal.
Since the temps have been above 20 for most days we have taken to afternoon adventures, mucking around in the backyard, exploring the plants that are setting out buds, walking, collecting pine cones, playing at the play ground. Joshua can now cross the monkey bars, unassisted, at break neck speed. Evie enjoys all these adventures perched on my back in the backpack carrier. Mira, grumpily, gets tucked into the stroller for the walks but otherwise, tags along bringing up the rear.
Today's adventure included pulling out my new gardening tools from Christmas to test them out. Now we are scheming of plants that we will start indoors in the next week or two. Joshua does enjoy gardening and likes to eat what he grows.
