Mini Moments

Here's what we've been up to lately!

While Jared, Arabelle, and Bo were gone to Athens for the football game a few weeks ago, Mae did a little painting while Zeke napped that afternoon. As you can see, she had different ideas about her canvas.

You can tell she has an idea here....

The finished product! She took a bath next. ;)

Bo asked me one day when he was doing his math, "What is God's favorite number?"

Zeke has started eating some food! So far he's had bananas, sweet potatoes, roasted carrots and broccoli, and avocado. He has liked it all! I keep forgetting to put him in the high chair to eat though, so some days he just has milk like usual. Fourth kid problems, I guess. ha!

We went to Tifton last week for an oil change in the van and we HAD to check out a fun park there before coming home.

Zeke seemed to approve.

The new house is coming along. The girls in their room:

And Bo in the boys room:

We went to Pineview Friday for our Thanksgiving celebration:

This is my favorite little face that Zeke makes. He does it a lot and I think it's so sweet!

Papaw and Mamaw with 10 grandkids! 

We aren't doing all the usual Christmas decorations because of the move after Christmas, but we've got a few strings of lights in the kids' room and the Nativity scene. They are loving it!

While the big kids were eating brownies this afternoon (made by Arabelle and Bo) and Zeke practiced a little with his sippy cup.

Mae was asleep when A & B baked the brownies and she was excited for a treat when she got up. :)

I'll leave you with a baby taking a bath in the sink, one of my favorite things!

Mae's Busy Day

Mae had a busy day on Friday!

After her morning nap, we picked Bo up from school and went to get her ears pierced! Arabelle was excited for Mae to match her, but wasn't excited to about Mae crying. She only cried a minute, then was fine!

She will be 6 mo. old on the 20th and has really been going after things I'm holding lately (cups, mail, food, etc.) Thursday I had an apple and I let her gnaw on it a bit:

Then the apple slipped and here's what happened:

Don't worry. She got over it with a little distraction. :)

So, Friday, we had steamed broccoli at supper, so we decided to give Mae a few big pieces to chew on. She was really curious and played with it a bit before putting it to her mouth. Once she did, she decided she liked it and really tore it up!

Here she is in action:

Arabelle and Bo thought it was so neat to see her eating! I can't believe my baby is big enough for this.
