Fuquay and Sweet Potatoes!

This past Saturday we went to visit my family in Fuquay.  Dad came home (for good) from working in NY for several months, and we wanted to catch up and visit.  We had a fabulous dinner, went for a walk outside and watched some old home videos.  It was a great night!

My 3 month portrait and Evan's 3 month portrait...wearing the same outfit mom saved for 28 years!

Sunday evening we used our Baby Bullet for the first time.  We made some sweet potatoes for Miss Evan to try.  We took a bunch of pictures and even some video.  Here she is trying something with a little flavor for the very first time:

I'm excited to try some sweet potatoes!

First taste...not so sure...

hmmmm, what IS this stuff??

I guess it's ok...

I'll take some more...

What's with all the pictures, Mom??

getting used to it...

Thanks, Daddy for feeding me!!  :)

Getting excited about it now!

Oh yeah, sweet potatoes are GOOD! :)

YUMMM

scarfin' it down

I think sweet potatoes were a big hit!

Is it all gone??

I see some more coming...

Come on, Daddy...whatcha doin??

Thanks, Daddy!  I loved my first real baby food!!

So yeah, the pictures speak for themselves!  haha  She loved it and we can't wait to introduce new foods to her every few days!!  Can't believe how fast she's growing.

She also rolled completely over to her belly this morning for the first time.  She has been so close to doing it for the past week or so.  I was so excited for her...But now she has to figure out how to roll from her belly to her back!  haha  :)

***S*N*O*W***

We had a beautiful day this past Saturday.  The sun was shining and it was quite warm for February.  Daddy was home, so we decided to go for a walk on the farm!

 

 

 

Then it cooled off significantly for Sunday.  Here we are playing in Evan's room after church:

 

 

 

Later in the afternoon on Sunday, we actually had some sleet to start falling....Then it turned to SNOW!!  Finally, we got some snow this year!  It has been soooo mild this winter, I was afraid we wouldn't see ANY snow.  But we got close to 3 inches!  It warmed up the next day and the snow was all gone, but we were able to throw Evan in her snow suit, run outside and take a few pictures Sunday evening before it all went away!  Here she is getting ready for her first snow on February 19, 2012:

 

not so sure about the whole "bundled up" thing

 

ready to go!

 we only stayed outside for about 5 minutes

 my little teddy bear....haha!

 I was so glad to finally see some snow.  I know winter isn't over yet, but as I'm typing this today, it is 75 degrees and sunny outside.  It's BEAUTIFUL, but it's definitely not winter weather.
