Ruby trying solid foods

With Ruby turning 6 months old - we've been trying to feed her some solid foods. She hasn't been as receptive to the new foods, textures, and tastes as her brother was when he turned 6 months old.

Before we get to food pictures - HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY!

Let me check this out...

Nope - I didn't like that one...

OK - I'll try it again...

Better...but I'm still not sure.

And another attempt...

Eating can be messy - so here is Oliver and Ruby taking their first bath together

All clean!

More random photos from the past month or so

Here are a few photos I found that were fun to share:

A picture of a recipe that Oliver came up with to make Thomas...

Oliver and Nancy at Crystal

Oliver and Ruby's first snowmobile ride - thanks Doug!

Back at New Year...look like everyone was excited for a good read

Also a new years photo of mommy and her two kiddos

A repost of this photo, but it's too cute not to post again

iPhone photo dump...

Here are a bunch of photos taken with the phone over the last month...no order to them...just a bunch of fun!

Well, it used to be a ball pit, now Oliver is using it as a jungle gym

Oliver and Cousin Luke playing in the human hamster wheel

Anna, Ellie, and Ruby hanging tough

Oliver doing all the tricks that park all by himself

You should have seen the look Oliver got from the ducks when he started eating the bread himself instead of throwing it for them

Out for a morning walk in downtown Kirkland with Ruby and Oliver (who's too cool to walk...gotta ride the bike!)

The sun is starting to shine in the great NW...can't wait for more days of playing outside

Look at me

Many mornings this is what getting ready looks like

Here we are over at Hayden's house shooting trains off of a track over Ruby...she is a willing participant...look at her paying attention.

I didn't know that we were doing the silly face photo and sticking out our tongues.

Over at Kendall's house and watching the kiddos jump on the bed through the monitor

Now they are playing nice and sweet

Oops, I guess we need to clean up now

Working on the running form

Ruby the Nordstrom shopping diva trying on some glasses

Trying out the St Patrick's Day straw glasses...cool

Oliver helping me shop by pushing the cart...can you see him? Look for the flag...

There he is!

We made a trip on a rainy Saturday to the Children's Museum. Here is Oliver building his own tall building

Climbing and having fun...oh and he played a bit of trains there too

Here he is with Grandma Joan building a bracelet for mommy

Happy Birthday Avery!

Arena Sports is so fun...

Even Ruby got into the action

Kelsey, a friend from high school, is battling cancer and they held an auction for her this past month. In one night - they raised $40,000 to help her fight the fight. It was awesome to see so many friends in one place and to see everyone in the giving spirit

I made a trip down to SLC a few weeks back for a trade show and had the pleasure of meeting Baby Kate Johnson. Cody and I went for a run and had some yummy breakfast on the visit as well.

Ok...maybe not Tiger...but still having fun

Out for Ruby's first sushi night

Big Brother helping to give Lil Sister a bath

Oliver and Hayden's log cabin

Ruby smiling at the camera

Ruby and Oliver putting on their best gear for their Uncle Steve - go Beavers

Go Beavs...ok enough of that...find the purple.

RUBY TURNS 6 MONTH OLD!

We can't believe it...that it was 6 months ago when our sweet, precious Ruby was born. Here are her 6 month photo shoot pics:

Happy 1/2 year birthday!

Here is Oliver at 6 months. Turns out that Ruby is taller than Oliver was, but he weighed more.

Loungin...

Oliver had to get in on the action. Here he is using the lens cap as his camera and taking photos of us.

Hugs

Now let's play Hide and Seek
