Food in belly, baby is happy





Alex has been one happy dude lately now that we're filling up his belly with solid food. He seems to be finally gaining some weight again. So far he loves rice cereal, seems confused by carrots but still eats them, is a bit allergic to sweet potatoes (boo), and just gobbles down bananas.


The weather has gotten a lot better after a pretty miserable spring. We spent this weekend outdoors as much as possible. Yesterday we took a drive to Snoqualmie Falls which is pretty cool and then wandered around the town which is not really that cool. We hiked down from the falls observation point to the river which was about 3/4 mile and some pretty serious elevation. Alex loved all of the trees and plants and did his excitement scream most of the way. Then Dad realized that going 3/4 of a mile back up with a heavy incline is not too much fun with a baby strapped to his chest.


Today Alex made me breakfast, made me a card and framed a picture of himself for Father's Day. Best of all, he was in a much better mood than he was for Mother's Day (take that Jess). After breakfast it was off to the Edmonds Art festival. Alex loves being outside. It was so exciting that he finally crashed for a 2 hour nap.
