Dinner with friends

Friday evening we went to visit our friends, Erin & Josh, to check out their new apartment and have dinner. I forgot to pack baby food for Ember so she ate everything off of my plate: spinach & feta chicken brat, carrots, broccoli and potatoes. She loved all of it. Ember was grabbing it off the plate faster than I could feed her.

Josh, Erin & Ember

Yep, there was still room for her bottle after eating all of the food on mommy's plate.

Look mom, I'm sorting the mail for you.

All of our mail started out on the counter next to Ember's Bumbo chair, but one after another it ended up on the floor, so we let her play /read the paper before dinner.

Saturday... in the park.

Today we attended a baby shower in a park on the shore of Little Cedar Lake. Even though the water was a little cold, we took Ember swimming and she loved it. She walked around digging her little toes into the sand, and then sat splashing around with her hands and feet, until she found rocks in the sand that looked good enough to eat.

Look mom a leaf...

Dada?

Breakfast on the Farm

This past weekend our family from Minnesota came for a visit. Great Grandma Pam, Great Aunt Annie, Cousin Abby, Cousin Nick and Grandma Paula. Saturday morning we went to breakfast on the farm., Yep, they traveled all the way from the farm in Minnesota to see another farm in Wisconsin. We were served pancakes, sausage, eggs, and applesauce. Ember got her first taste of pancakes... its going to breakfast favorite.

After breakfast we toured around the farm, pet some animals and cousins Abby and Nick got to ride on train made from barrels and pulled by a lawnmower(pic below).

How about some applesauce?
