Making baby food

I made my first batch of baby food yesterday. We tried plums. Of course, it was not as easy to seperate the cooked plum flesh from the skin as it appeared in the recipe, but I finally managed to get it done. He had some for dinner last night and seemed to like it. Next we are trying blueberries.

Granddan's 80th Birthday party















































































We headed down to Houston for the weekend for Granddan's 80th birthday party. Kyler hadn't been down there, and had not met most of the family. He did really well on the drive!! I was a little nervous about that. He was so good at the party too! He got to swim in Donna and Warren's pool and their neighbors let us borrow a float to put him in. He was kicking his feet while he was in the water. Uncle Brent brought him a flight suit from JPL. Uncle Brent finds the coolest presents!! Amber brought him some shirts and a stuffed lamb from Canada. Great Aunt Donna made him a new quilt that is so adorable!! He also got a book from Great Aunt Jeanne. What an awesome family we have!! We got to hear about the traveling adventures from Jen, who just returned from Kenya, Lauren just got back from Costa Rica, and Steve got back to Austin Friday night from teaching in Korea for a year.
