Green beans please

Montgomery had green beans on August 24& 25. Each day he has 1/2 jar. His faces are priceless. One day off then time for bananas ... He must not have liked the texture on Monday August 27 because he only ate 40% of the half. But on Tuesday 8/28 he was a rock star. Knows to open his mouth, and swallow, then opens for more. I'm so proud of my son. He is an amazement everyday. He is not a baby anymore. He is almost 5 months old and I will be doing only monthly updates, but still including fun stuff we do and certain milestones I find that apply. I also am scrapbooking and one day when he's older the scrapbooks will be his, so I blog to continue my blog books. They are not exact except for the weekly updates... Some of the same photos are used but not all.

Squash & Apples

Montgomery wasn't a fan of cereal on a spoon, he loves it in a bottle. I know doctors say a huge no-no, but my son loves it. So I decided he was ready for baby food. We started with squash, a vegetable, and it's also something his daddy is allergic to. He loves it. Day #2, he finished the squash. & so far isn't allergic to it. We took the next day off and then it was time to try a fruit, apples. Montgomery thinks there tart, hIs face is priceless. Green beans is next, then bananas....

downstate

 Montgomery and I headed downstate on Aug 4th at 8 am to be at shower at 10 am in Zeeland. It was 3 bridal showers and montgomery's baby shower. it was so much fun. Sam and Aaron got married in January, Auntie Gina is marrying Kevin on September 22, and Emilee is marrying Colin in Florida in November.

After the shower we attended the Steven TenHagen Benefit dinner, yummy pig, got to meet mommies friend Jessica, It was for her daddy who had a pretty bad accident and is lucky to be alive.
