Trampoline fun at piano/violin lessons

During piano and violin lessons, the kids take turns going on the trampoline.  There have been a few accidents.  And for sanity’s sake, I should probably stop letting them do this while we come for lessons.  But it has been a great bribe at the beginning.

While Savvy and Ryan have been visiting us, they also have come to lessons so they can also play on the tramp.  Oh, and Ruxpin too, so he can see his half-brother, Sachmo. (Meika’s dog.)

Jacob’s First Food

At 7 months old, Jacob got his first dose of people food.  Fresh green beans boiled and pureed.  He didn’t quite know what  to think of it.  Every time he did the truly sour look, my camera missed the moment.  He didn’t really get much down.  Just a lot everywhere else.   This is the first baby that I haven’t started at 6 months, and on rice cereal.  I’ve been trying to track down something with his GI tract.  I have found that through my breast milk he is allergic to: sugar, honey, wheat (gluten – any refined flours), AND dairy.  Aside from learning how to eat differently, the nice thing for me is that my clothes are getting larger/body shrinking with this kind of diet!  (Some days are MUCH harder than others to stay on the bandwagon.)
