My Everyday Adventure: Christmas Time Was Here...

Wow. Did that just happen?? So much has been going on in the past week that time has flown by!!

Last week James, Aiven, and I went on a little staycation in Dallas. We stayed at a hotel...

For the indoor pool...

Then we went to the Galleria the next day...

And then last Friday (Dec. 23rd) my baby boy turned SIX months old!! How did that happen?

I love this picture

Also that same day, he got his helmet (because he has a lop-sided head)

Don't let this picture fool you...he doesn't really like the helmet this much

Also that same day he had his first taste of real food...

Yeah, he did not like it!

We first gave him avocado. This was a recommended food due to it's neutral flavor, texture, and fat content. But we tried it the next day and he still did not like it at all. Then we tried pureed yellow squash, still no go. The next day I tried that mixed with breast milk - it was a little better, but still no. I just don't think he's ready for food yet and that's ok!

*Side note: we are not starting him with rice cereal. Since our lifestyle is eating paleo, we're not going to introduce him first to things that aren't paleo and then take them away later.

Also, that SAME day he rolled over by himself for the FIRST time!!

Now he does it like he's been doing it his whole life!

So needless to say, December 23rd was a very eventful day for our little boy!!

And then Christmas. This year we had all the parents come to our house!! A few months ago, traveling to Austin on Christmas weekend with a baby did not sound appealing. So we decided to have Christmas at our house. Thankfully, my sweet in-laws drove to us to spend Aiven's first Christmas with us.
