MMMMmmmm.....Solid food!




Wel folks, the time has come. Ivria is six months old, and makes the saddest little faces at me any time she sees me eating! She opens her little mouth and pouts, hoping for a little morsel of real food. So our big girl finally gets to try out some yummy rice cereal! Daddy was the super hero of the day when he presented her with the first spoonful of the pasty mash.
Our little trooper has taken to the spoon like a pro. Now she can hardly contain herself whe she sees me coming with a spoon and a bib. She sits up like a big girl in the high chair and chows down. Today, mashed vegetables.......tomorrow, The World!!!!!
I was also surprised to find out (almost by accident) that Ivria is cutting her first tooth! She has made no complaints, and is not waking at night or anything! I swear I got the deluxe model baby. She takes most things in stride, and is just an absolute delight to have in our lives.
Mmmmmmm. Good Stuff!

Summer camp adventure

Mommy and Daddy and Auntie Robyn were all invited to summer camp in Spokane to play music this year. So, Ivria and daddy had to spend many hours brushing up on those drum skills!

Going to spokane of course involved Ivria and daddy's first ever plane ride! Both of them enjoyed the experience, and Ivi fell right to sleep as we took off. She was so well behaved the whole trip, and sang a delightful baby song for all to hear as we landed.

After settling in at camp, Ivi decided to take some time to relax and kick back and check out the scenery.

And of course we had to try out the lake! Ivria was unsure of what to think about the whole experience. Mommy slathered her from head to toe in sunscreen, put her in a swim diaper and a baby bathing suit, and plopped her in the cold lake water with the fishes!
I don't know what she was thinking here, but I'll bet if she knew how to say "ewwww" she might have!

Ivria was excited to make new friends! This is baby Selah who is two months old. Ivi wanted jump right in to the social experience at camp!



Here we are strolling around having a good time! The weather was just right for a baby to enjoy. We spent lots of time enjoying God's creation



Her are my sleepyheads crashing my bunk!


and here they are lounging in the sun.



I don't know what she was up to here, but it's hilarious!



And here we are at the airport, waving goodbye after our big adventure.
