Mmm....Food

After weeks of having a screaming child at EVERY meal. I decided today to give him some food of his own. I know it's a bit early (he's 5 and a bit months old, you're not supposed to start them on solids until 6 months). However, I'm tired of trying to settle him while my food gets cold. So, while I was at the grocery store this afternoon I picked up a couple boxes of rice cereal. I have just finished giving him his first large tbsp of cereal. He loved it!!!!! I couldn't shovel it in his mouth fast enough. I actually had to pin his arms down while I brought the spoon to his mouth because he kept grabbing the spoon frantically, thinking I wasn't doing it quick enough.
I'm hoping this will stop the meal time fits.......we'll find out tonight. :)

????Anyone out there????

I was just wondering if I'm completely wasting my time, or if people are actually reading what I write on here. I don't really want to keep writing things on here if I'm the only one coming to this site. I know my thoughts, I don't need to write them and read them too. I know I don't write/post all that often but I'm just wondering if I should be stopping all together?
Any comments??????
Anyone???
Hello???
Oh...and who is anon e mouse? I have been wondering that for awhile now. You seem to know me, I'd like to know you too. :)

Funny Funny Stuff...

This was e-mailed to me (along with some other funny "kid" things). I thought this one was just too good. Kids can do/say some pretty funny things sometimes.

A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.
'Mama, look what I found,' the boy called out.
'What have you got there, dear?'
With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, 'I think it's Adam's underwear!'

Chub-a-lub

I realized that I haven't posted any pictures of Isaiah in quite awhile. He's now a giant...you'll all be shocked. I'm very used to my babies being in the 5th percentile for height/weight. Brielle was 5th for weight and 50th for height (she's always been tall and skinny) and Micah was 25th for weight and 5th for height. Isaiah however is just a big monster! He's in the 95th percentile for BOTH height and weight. He's 3 1/2 months old and over 17lbs, 26" long. He's our chub-a-lub. Here's a few pictures of our friendly giant. :)

Look at those cheeks...

Loving the swings.

Kinda looks like he has an elastic band around his cankle...oh I mean ankle :)

Sleeping beside his OLDER cousin (by 5 months) who he's now outgrowing.

Floods

It's that time of year again. I find it bittersweet. I know that a lot of people lose many of their possessions, and businesses during floods, but I also get kinda excited because I just love watching them. I love watching what they do, and watching the river grow to be 10+ times the size it usually is. Anyways, I took a few pictures last night as Jon and I were coming home from Jen's house. Enjoy!

Normally the river is around knee deep here and something like 15 feet wide.

This picture was taken from the parking lot of Smitty's.

This is underneath the car bridge

This is also under/beside the car bridge...the "new" pathway they built after the last flood 3 years ago. Looks like they're going to be rebuilding it.
