It doesn't seem possible, but somehow Eliza turned 6 months old last weekend. And with that milestone came her first foray into solid foods. Oatmeal cereal - yummm (or at least she thought so). 
" More, Daddy, more!"
"Y'all have been holding out on me!"
Another major event in our household has been the end of the paci era for Noah. We've been talking about giving them up for oh, about a year now, but things kept seeming to get in the way. We were adamant, though, that the pacis must go in the beginning of the new year. So, we concocted a scheme and convinced him that the new baby panda at the zoo NEEDED his pacis.
He happily holds them up just before handing them over to the panda.
He sets them down in front of the panda exhibit.
We explained that the keepers would come and give them to the panda. This all went surprisingly well ... until bedtime ... and every bedtime and nap since then. "I MISS my pacis!" he cries, "I don't want to be a big boy! I want to be a baby!" Not a fun process.
Ben has not had any major feats this month, per se, but he has had a ton of fun birthday parties and playdates.
He became a fire-breathing dragon at a friend's circus-themed birthday party.
And had a fun playdate at the zoo with his good pal Joanna.
