"I do it myself!"

He's mastered eating finger foods.
So, Henry is now making great attempts at feeding himself with the spoon!

Bathtime in the sink

First time for bathtime in the sink!

See the mangoes.

Must have the mangoes.

I LOVE MANGOES!

Homemade popsicles

Something they didn't have when Ayla was a baby was these little "mesh pops". THEY ARE AWESOME! You can open them and insert whatever kind of food or fruit. Then baby can chow away on his own eliminating any kind of choking hazard. Henry adores his "popsicles". I pack it full of frozen fruit and he'll go through 3 or 4 rounds before he's had enough. His favorite right now is frozen banana and pineapple... Pina Colada!

Guess who's got a new baby cousin?!!

JANE ANN SKAGGS was born Saturday, April 5, 2008 around 4:45am weighing 7 lbs. 9 oz. (same as AYLA!) and 19 inches long. She is absolutely beautiful. Amy looks amazing doesn't she?! Here's the whole family! Amy, Samuel, Jane and Jack Skaggs. Brother Samuel entertaining himself...
If you'd like to see... a few other pictures are on their blog.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD JANE!

Big boy eating

It didn't take but a few times for Henry to get the handle of finger foods and he never looked back. He will occasionally let us feed him with a spoon, but pretty much he's moved on to "I can do it" phase. I just love his new found independence, but I'm challenged to find a good mix of foods that he can feed himself since they still need to turn to mush. I was on a roll with homemaking all his purees and then *poof* we're done with that... gotta move on. Isn't he such a big boy!
