I'm still here

Wow! I've been really delinquent when it comes to blogging! Things have been pretty busy for us lately.

Yesterday was Justin's 26th birthday. We went out to dinner with his family and then everyone came to our house for cheesecake. It sure was fun to have a day to celebrate my sweet husband. I'm so blessed!

School is winding down for the year. Yay!!! We have about 3 1/2 weeks left. I am so excited to have the summer off with my son. Justin and I have always desired for me to be a stay-at-home mom, but because of the timing of the pregnancy and Justin's job situation, I had to go back to work when Carter was 7 weeks old. It absolutely breaks my heart everyday as I leave him to go to work. We are praying that Justin's business will be established enough by this fall that I won't have to go back to work. Please join us in praying for that!

In Carter news... we attempted to feed him solid foods this week. We bought him a highchair and now we're trying to feed him some rice cereal every night. It is interesting. I think he really likes the taste of the cereal but he's not quite sure how to eat it. Every time I offer a spoonful, he moves towards the spoon but instead of opening his mouth, he puckers his lips. He looks like he's trying to kiss the food instead of eat it. When I try to show him how to open his mouth, by opening mine, he just laughs at me. When I finally get some cereal in his mouth, most of it comes back out as he's trying to swallow. I think he is actually swallowing a little bit but most of it's coming back out. We'll keep plugging away and I have not doubt that with parents like us, he'll be a champion eater in no time! :-)
