Applesauce

I really wish I would've had my camera with me yesterday when we gave Izzie applesauce for the first time. The look on her face was priceless when she took that first bite. I don't think she was ready for the tart apples after having bananas as her first fruit because she looked like she had just sucked a lemon as she was eating her applesauce. I guess it wasn't that terrible because she kept eating it.

I think I'm going to need to start carrying the camera with me everywhere because I don't have any pictures to post on here of anything from the last couple of weeks. We went to the Kane County Fair on Saturday for a short time and saw my uncles who make the best popcorn I've ever had. It was really good to see them and Mackenzie enjoyed seeing the Tiger show and the petting zoo. Izzie had her first bananas at the fair and hung out great while we were there. She enjoyed being in the umbrella stroller which is a huge change from the big stroller (she didn't like it so much).

Jason brought Mackenzie to the pool on Sunday (again no camera) and they had so much fun. Jason came home totally sunburned, but I guess it was worth it because he really enjoyed spending the afternoon with Mackenzie.

I am waiting to hear back from Mackenzie's gymnastics studio because there is a little kid there that is scratching and hitting the other kids and I want her out of that class, but they won't call me back. I guess we'll have to start looking for a new studio.

Hopefully I'll have some pictures to post next time.

Slip and Slide

It was nice and hot last Sunday so while dad was golfing I decided to put out Mackenzie's slip and slide. She LOVED it. It was the perfect size for her and she did it over and over until she tired herself out enough to actually take a nap (she never takes naps at home).

Sisters

Last Sunday Mackenzie really wanted to play with Izzie, so they went downstairs and Mackenzie put Izzie on the bed she made at the bottom of the stairs and talked, read and sang to her. Both of the girls really enjoyed it. Afterwards, Mackenzie drew a picture of it. I think she really loves her sister.

Solid Food

On July 4, Izzie started on cereal. She seemed to like it the first time and since has learned to open her mouth and last night actually seemed a little mad when it was all gone. One more week and we can start on fruits and veggies.

Baptism

So I created this blog over a year ago and only did the initial post on the day I created it. I've decided that maybe I should try to keep it going, so here it goes...

Izzie's baptism was last weekend, June 29. We had my parents, my brother and sister-in-law and a pair of aunts and uncles come in from out of town for it. We had so much fun visiting for the weekend. Here is a pictures of the 4 of us waiting for the baptism to start. Can you tell how proud Mackenzie is of her baby sister?

There are over 300 more pictures from the weekend, but this is one of my favorites.
