We heart summer!

So, this week's exciting adventure was the introduction of a few new foods. First was avocado. It was a hit! We couldn't get it into his mouth fast enough, and he didn't let much of it go to waste. Second, was bananas. He seemed very interested but had a sour face after trying to swallow it. As soon as he got it down or spit it out he would then open his mouth like he wanted more. We will have to keep trying... I think the delicious sweetness was just a little surprising to those virgin taste buds. I think for now we will stick to these few items as well as the rice cereal. Maybe in a few more weeks we will experiment with some veggies.

Oscar is currently fascinated and thoroughly entertained by Maggie. He is always watching her, if he hears her walking by he will look to see where she's going, and if she's with in arms length he will try to reach out to touch her. She as well seems just as interested in him - smelling him, trying to lick his face and hands, and she always has to be in his room or just outside the door for diaper changes and feedings. So, she was feeling playful the other night and came running into the room with a toy, squeaking away - he has apparently never seen anything funnier! He was laughing and watching her, and every time I threw the toy he would laugh even more. It was very cute. I think she liked the attention from him also... it was almost like she was trying to show off for him. They are sure to become good friends as time goes by.

He is getting very strong. The back to belly roll has been perfected but the belly back roll is still apparently for crib time only... and usually while trying to fall asleep. He has been practicing sitting up! He is good for a few minutes and eventually tips over. It almost looks like he's trying to scoot too. I think he knows there is more too all this sitting and rolling over, he just can't quite figure out what's next. I'm in no hurry for all that. He's going to be all over the place soon enough. (I'll try to catch some sitting on video for next week)

Here are a few more pics from our weekend. On Saturday we had our Bradley class over for a BBQ... so fun to see the babies growing together. Sunday we went over to Laura and Levi's for a Paella party. On both occasions we had absolutely perfect weather, Oscar was his usual mellow self and the food was delicious!
