Just like his Momma!

For those of you who know me well, you know that I despise all things bananas - I don't like the taste, the smell, texture or anything with banana flavoring. In fact, smelling them from a distance sort of makes me gag. This morning I sucked up my despise of them and mashed one up for Colton. And let's just say he may be just like his Momma! Peas (his least favorite veggie) got a better reaction the first time. It was too funny not to capture on video. This video isn't nearly as funny as the 1st reaction to the taste. We will keep trying them though. He will tolerate peas now although I think his initial reaction to bananas was far worse! I don't blame him either!

Happy Easter!!

The weekend was an eventful one to say the least. It started on Friday with a 6 month baby well visit for Colton. Colton is now 16 lbs 12 oz (30th percentile) and 26.25 inches (50th percentile) and doing great. Unfortunately the doctor suspects a rash that he has had and that has gradually gotten worse over the past month isn't actually dry skin or baby eczema (my diagnosis) but that he is allergic to Dreft detergent. The doctor put him on a steroid ointment and I spent the weekend re-washing EVERYTHING he owns and we are thankful it is 100% better! I just feel terrible that I didn't figure it out earlier. Poor thing is a little guinea pig for these 1st time parents!

We had a great Easter! We went to church as we do every Sunday and smoked a ham for our Easter dinner. Chad and I enjoyed dying eggs and playing Easter bunny. I don't think our eggs will win any awards for beauty or creativity but it was fun nonetheless.


Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter as well! Here is a link to some pics I uploaded on Facebook today: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2489429&id=6230200&l=facceec317
