Firsts on Friday

Today was a day of a few firsts. After a few rough nights of getting up more than twice a night to nurse, Jeremiah talked me into trying cereal with Jacob to see if it would help. I, honestly, didn't think he was ready for solid food but I was willing to give it a try. So we got out the high chair and put on a bib and he was ready to go...

Sure enough, Jeremiah was right. Jacob gobbled it up like he had been eating solid food forever. I couldn't believe it. We will see if it helps him sleep a little better. I will let you know.

Mazie has been working very hard at mastering the monkey bars. Any park we have been to over the past year, she has tackled them but only managing to get to the third bar before dropping down in defeat. Tonight, however, she surprised herself. She made it the whole way and was very pleased with herself.

The neighbor kids were even cheering her on. It was quite an accomplishment for her.

And, then there is Jamie. This really isn't a first but it is the first time posting pictures of Jamie cheering. Stahr Mam got the girls these little pom poms and Jamie became quite the cheerleader. Here she is shaking her booty. Mazie asked her if she wanted some fries with her shake. Jamie responded with, "I can't eat fries with this shake"!

I also posted a new banner. I really like this banner but would love it if I could get it to fit the width of the blog page. Any suggestions from any of you veterans out there? I can't figure it out.
