Milestones

Well, our little girl is eating solid foods now...well, sort of. Mostly she spits it back out, but she does seems to like it. She's had homemade pearsauce, squash, carrots, smashed banana, and rice cereal. Oh, and she likes to suck on watermellon and cantaloup.

Alexander is thrilled to watch her eat and likes to hand her more and more spoons. So, we're entering the messy-baby-in-highchair phase of parenting again. I have to remind myself that the mess is okay. :)

And Alexander has started preschool. He goes to Bluebird Montesorri here in Silverton. Three and a half hours a day, five days a week. This is his first full week of school. So far, he's loving it, but he tends to have little meltdowns after keeping it together for half the day at school. He'll come home and let it all out.

Here's a picture of him on the front porch of his school:
