Sunny days

The last couple of weeks have had their fair share of sunny days, which Macadam and I savor (okay maybe just me) as we take at least one walk a day when it's nice. The other day I put him in the Bjorn so he could face out. He's much too big for it but it was so fun to watch him react to the world. My favorite shot is his profile, there's just something about it. I can't get enough!

This, however, is his usual stance while in the carrier - out like a light.

Babies who brunch

This past Saturday we had our childbirth class reunion brunch. It was so much fun to see the other babies and their parents, particularly after witnessing a few months of their pregnancies. My favorite shot is with the babies lined up on the couch. By the time all the babies were on the couch, Macadam had started to show the fatigue of sitting up. From the video, you can also see what mayhem it was behind the scenes and mortifying my singing voice can be:).

On Sunday, Macadam had a much more mellow brunch with his friend Lila.

Monday morning pick me up

Macadam's other favorite food

Mmmmm, mmmm good

After seeing that Macadam pantomimes our mouths while watching us eat, along with other indicators, we decided to slowly introduce solids into his diet every couple of days. So far, it's just rice cereal and after finally understanding what was on the spoon, Macadam is all about it.

First they come north, then they come west

After a week of visitors from the south in Oregon, we had the pleasure of visiting with our friends Amie and Shane who moved to Pullman last year. It was so fun to catch up and even better to have them meet Macadam. They've long loved Buster but I think he's having to once again play second fiddle to his new housemate.

Macadam is also definitely becoming more aware of the camera, as you can see in a few of these pictures.

Stomping his feet

Macadam seems to like slamming his feet while he's lying down or reclining in his chair. If he's in his crib you can hear a distinct thump...thump...thump before he is officially awake or officially asleep. He's also a lot more talkative these days. The following video holds no commentary (those will most certainly follow) but hopefully you can get a sense of what he's up to these days.
