We had a good time at the mall yesterday. First Lucas watched his first movie in the theaters, Curious George. Timmy slept through most of it. Then we went glow-in-the-dark mini golfing, had lunch at the food court, went shopping at the Dollar Tree, and played in the children's area. Outings are much easier with two adults! 
We had to give Timmy a trim because his bangs were getting in his eyes. He's now very blond.
I wanted to wait until he was six months old before starting solids, but he's ready now. Timmy wants to sit at the table with us and grab our food, and whenever we eat he watches us raptly and chews along. So I made up some rice cereal from as recommended by http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/cereal.htm and Lucas helped me feed him. No tongue thrust reflex, he gulped it down. I think I need to work on making the powder finer, because he was making funny faces about the texture.
While mom and dad went to see the pirate movie, Timmy and Lucas played with Meemaw (whose birthday is today). I think this is only the second time Timmy has had a bottle, and the first time he's had a bottle of milk.
Timmy watches Lucas slash down on the slip-n-slide. Timmy thought the water was too cold, but he had fun watching! At first Lucas did't want to play in the backyard, now can't get him to come back inside!
After my last post I remembered how big that little brother shirt used to be on Timmy. This is the first time he wore it.
I was sitting next to the couch Timmy was lying on playing with him while Lucas did "gravity experiments" (with chutes and marbles) behind me. I turned around to help Lucas, and Timmy decided to do a gravity experiment of his own. Thankfully he was surprised but fine (he only fell about a foot before he landed on my foot). Must be more carefulnow that he's "mobile". So... where are moms supposed to go to get those eye implants in the back of the head?
Today we spent four hours at a neighborhood park with friends from our playgroup. We had lots of fun! Thanks Andrea, Claire, Dominic, and Calvin for inviting us to play with you.
Thankfully, the rain passed in time to enjoy some of the festivities. Happy Independance day everyone!
We all went to a friend's house in Wells Brach for some 4th of July festivities. This is Lucas and Doug collecting the candy they're throwing out at the parade.
Erin has some big shoes to fill. Firefighters are neat, but I still want to be a construction worker when I grow up. And play the pipe organ like Chris at church.
We went to see our friend Erin, who is a volunteer firefighter. The trucks are really big!
