Adventures in Eating

The following pictures are of Jacob and Maggie eating various things...a cupcake iced in lime green icing for Jacob, and Maggie enjoying some fruit through a mesh teething feeder, as well as her first taste of cheerios. Yep, we really need to make sure we brush his teeth.

Jacob can be such a good big brother at times, as you can see below as he helps Maggie with her teething feeder (it has a mesh cap so she can have fruit, etc. without danger of choking on it). At other times his only mission is to take away any toys that she might be enjoying.

Here is Maggie trying her hardest to get a small piece of cheerio into her mouth. She was successful on a few occasions.

Here are some recent pictures from around the house. Bear with me as I take a moment to gush...It is just amazing to watch these children grow and learn. I guess I'm talking mostly about Jacob since he is changing so much these days. He has melted my heart in the last week since he started singing along with me when we sing Jesus Loves Me at night before he goes to bed. He is also using phrases and words that he hears us say around the house and it is just adorable...things like actually, instead of, I think, etc. He sure is growing up. Our little Maggie is nothing but precious and she LOVES her older brother. She suffered her first ear infection this past week but has recovered well and overall is a very good baby. I couldn't be happier to be spending my days (and nights) with these two kids!
