Smashed Peas!

I am really committed to breastfeeding my kids until we mutually decide that we don't want to do it anymore. It has been one of the best ways for me to feel like I am still "with" my babies during the day, even though they are at daycare. It has always been a little bittersweet for me when we first give the kids solid foods. Even though they are still breastfeeding it is a sign that sooner or later they are going to need me less and less. 

But it sure is fun watching their facial expressions and seeing their messy chins after trying their first foods. Asa's first was peas, by the look on his face I am not sure there was much enjoyment on his end either!

Asa at 5 Months

You've moved to your new daycare and had a rough start there. You did NOT want to nap and it made for a cranky boy some nights!

The weather this month has been so strange. You've got to go to play outside on a wonderfully sunny day and then days later feel the cold snow on your nose. This spring has been so unpredictable.

Just a few days before you turned five months old you started to roll over. It took you a little longer to figure it out than your brother and sister but we blame that on the fact that we never put you down! We miss you so much during the day that we carry you and hold you any time we can!
