Random Happenings

This past we weekend we took a trip to the zoo and then took Ben to a kids show. He loved it.  He sat on Matt's lap the whole time and Felicity sat beside him on my lap. Every so often he would reach over, still watching the show, and rub her head. It was so cute. But, the best part was when Felicity reached up for Ben's hand ( or whatever she could grab) and he took her hand and held it. They sat there for some time just holding hands and watching the show. It was probably one of the cutest moments I have seen so far between the two of them. I wish I had a picture!

I bought Ben a toddler bed at the mother's sale I went to on Saturday. I want to get Felicity started on the crib so we needed another bed.Yesterday we set it up and Ben was very excited. At bedtime he ran up to his room and climbed in without a fuss ( well, he never fusses come bedtime) . He had no problem sleeping there last night. I guess it makes him feel bigger because he seems very proud of it. Now if he will just stay in it for nap time. That may take some work.

This morning I gave Felicity her first food. I don't remember how Ben reacted to his first food but Felicity loved it!  I gave her the first bite and her face lit up. As it all came pouring back out she gave me the biggest, happiest smile. She was very excited! The whole time she was kicking her legs, smiling and acting silly as she ate. By the end she seemed to be getting the hang of swallowing it. I think weaning her may end up being very easy, but it is still awhile before I have to think about that!

They are growing up so fast! I love being able to watch them try new things but it is a little sad too. I guess that is part of being a mom.

Felicity all bundled up at the zoo this weekend

She was jumping happily and then I  looked over and she was fast asleep!
