Starting Solids

Two weeks ago Zachary showed interest in eating, so I handed him a graham cracker, he put it up to his mouth and went Nuts! He enjoyed the new taste and it actually had a flavor unlike his hard toys! He got mad and cried every time he dropped the cracker, and would look at me like I Did something wrong hahha! I went out and got him some of the Gerber crackers, its a lot easier for him to hold and I'm not digging in his mouth every five seconds scooping out chunks of cracker! He had his first expirence on baby food too! the first food he had was Organic Pears, he didnt like them to much but I am wondering because it was the First werid texture in his mouth. Next he had Organic Bananas! Oh My!! he LOVES bananas!! he says "mmm mmmmmm" even after he is full he still says MMMM!! its so cute! I know im Not supposed to give him the Sweet stuff Yet.. dr. said start with veggies first then sweet stuff last because he will enjoy the sweets and not want the veggies later.. So we've moved on from the banans and on to Organic Green Peas..he likes them but Not as much as the Bananas! haha! My next adventure is making my own baby food! I am going to order some special freezable continers and pull out my Magic Bullet, we will see how that goes!! Wish me Luck!

Our Family Gathering

On January 16th I had emailed a guy who I thought could be my half brother Shawn Ransier. Every day I would check my email to see if he had responded. Finially on January 21st he responded he said, he was 99.9% sure I was his half sister!!!! A Dream come True!

Shawn Ransier

I have been searching for years for Shawn and thanks to "Myspace" I found him!!! We talked via email for a while, then exchanged phone numbers and talked for hours! He said he would have gotten back to me sooner but he was in the hospital having his first baby!

Akasha Ransier born on 1-16-09! So not only did I gain a Brother, I got a Neice too!!

We all arranged it to meet at the end of Feburary. Sine Shawn and his Fiance Jen and the kiddos live in Salem OR, and we live in Tacoma we met at our Aunt Joan's & Uncle Davids house. The whole family made it. I picked up Karl, we carpooled down to La Center Wa. We spent the whole weekend catching up on 21 years!!

Karl and Shawn Ransier

It was So much fun. Shawn looks just like the Ransier side, it was rather funny watching Shawn and Karl playing pool, they acted the same and even talked the same! Its strange how Genes work! Im So glad that we got the chance to all come together and have a family gathering! Hope we will be getting together very soon again!!

Keller's Birthday is the next gathering! He will be turning One!!! Its amazing how time flies!! Keller Matthews

Here are the bag tag rules - (As stated by Katie.)1. Post a picture of whatever bag you are today - not last weekend when you and your hubby went out to that fabulous restaurant. No cheating!!! 2. Tell us how much it cost. This is a no-judgment zone -- there will be no ridiculing or eye rolling here. And, if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, I'd love to hear it. 3. Now tag some fellow bloggers and link back to this post so people know why you are posting pictures of your bag.
