Rice Cereal
1st Time Eating Rice Cereal
April 22, 2013
At Ellie's 4 month check-up, the doctor suggested starting her on rice cereal. Since she has reflux, the cereal would be great thing to try since it's basically thickened milk. It's easier for her tummy to keep it down, rather than thin, watery milk. So, we decided to take the plunge and start her on the cereal. With both Talmage and Emma, I started the cereal at 5 1/2 months and solids at 6 months. This makes Ellie a first for our family. Surprisingly, she took it very well, or as well as anyone could expect. She wasn't sure what to do at first, except stick her tongue out. I think the spoon was a little confusing, but she definitely ate some. Here are some pictures I took of her before and during the feeding. Talmage even helped feed her.
I just love having a third child because it means Talmage is older and able to help out and enjoy her. He's so in love with his baby sister. It just melts my heart.
Dumbo
Disney Family Movie Night
Dumbo
April 19, 2013
We've started watching Disney movies and planning the whole night around it {mainly dinner & snacks} to go with the movie. Our first movie was tonight...Dumbo! We're planning a Disneyland trip next month and hoping the kids will become more acquainted with the characters and stories by having these fun family nights. We chose to serve Carnival/Circus food, since the setting of Dumbo takes place at the Circus. The food included hot dogs {freshly grilled by daddy}, homemade nacho cheese & chips, and popcorn. The kids loved it...or at least we thought it was pretty cool!

Preschool Singing
Preschool Performance
April 10, 2013
Talmage's Preschool was invited to sing at the opening of the JO Combs District Board Meeting.
They had cookies and water to enjoy, which was the kids favorite part!
We didn't get any good pictures of Talmage singing, for two reasons.
One, he was standing behind a really tall girl and two, he wasn't singing.
They sang the "Action Alphabet."
