Some News!

If you have been going here hoping for an update to only find nothing...WELL there is a good reason and its totally my fault! I moved the blog. I felt it deserved its own URL. So for now on, please go to www.hereafterever.com

I am still trying to get better at updating it. I was shooting for everyday, which it totally not realistic - maybe twice a week is a better goal for me. Anyway, enjoy!!

On The Move

We are on the move again. Back to Los Angeles! In fact, we are moving right across the street from our old house - how amazing is that?

can't believe we packed it all in! LA here we come!

Hitting Milestones

Ever is rolling over now. He did for the first time a few months back while we were in LA, but had yet to do it again until now. And being the proud Mama I am, I documented the entire roll:


one


two


three


four


five


six a.k.a. "what do I do with this other arm?"


seven I am clearly going "You almost got it!"


eight and the arms out!


ME: "You did it Ever, you did it!!" Ever: "Whatsup"

LOTS of Cherry Blossoms = LOTS of Cherries!

First off, how cute is this picture?



This beanie would always creeps its way over Ever's eyes, but he just sits silently in his car seat not making a sound. Oh yea..he is wide awake just kicking it!



Second - LOOK AT ALL THESE BLOSSOMS!! This mean we will need to have a party/help with picking all the cherries before the birds do.

Starting Solids

Ever is about 5 1/2 now so we have decide to introduce some solids into his diet. I mean, they are no where near solids, more like pureed goodness but you get the idea. First thing on his ever growing menu will be sweet potato's! Homemade in fact with some fresh sweet potato's from Saturday's Farmers Market. I am using the Beabe Baby Food maker and it couldn't be easier. Peel, chop, some water and this puppy steams and blends in one container. LOVE IT! Thanks Mom for the gift =).

Speaking of loving it Ever LOVES sweet potato!!









The little man is such a good eater! We are pretty new so this whole solids thing and I feel like we are entering into another chapter that I have not done a lot of research on. What do I feed him next?

Can you believe it?!

Yup...We are traveling again. Up to Tahoe for a little visit and to take care of the small farm (3 dogs and 2 cats + Bruce) at Uncle Bri Bri's. The animals have not done too much damange...yet.

Only eaten:
- 1 of Ever's bottles
- Pre-natal vitamins
- ALL of Bruce's food. Hope they don't mind sharing theirs!
- 2 picture albums

Ever has done great so far and got to meet a new friend, Austin.



Time is flying by so quick. Can't believe he is already going to be 5 MONTHS next week?!?! Cray Cray! He is showing interest in food more and more. Reaching for bites of ours while sitting in our lap.

Special shout out to Ever's Great-Grandparents who are being snow birds and enjoying the sun in Palm Springs! Wish we could have seen you guys while we are up in the snow =( For now, you will have to enjoy these pictures instead.

=)








and here is a little song for your Monday morning:

Back on the horse

I took it out for a ride in the neighborhood today.





SO FUN!!!
