Maddie on the Moo-ve!

Well... since the sun has come out, we've found it more and more difficult to sit still. And of course, there's a lot more community activities to take part in once that big yellow ball in the sky starts to show it's face!

So we decided to take Maddie and Ethan to the Saturday Farmer's Market in Hillsboro! Maddie was just basking in the sights, sounds, and temperatures that surrounded her. We also decided to stop by and see the county building where dad is going to start working on June 1st. And while there, we decided to stop by the BIG Sequoia trees that were once planted by Maddie and Ethan's great-great-great... grandpa?? John Ramsey Porter. They are right next to the Courthouse. It's amazing how much of their heritage surrounds them. What with having an entire street named for them just off of Hwy 47 in Forest Grove, and another giant Sequoia that stands on the corner of B street and Pacific Ave in Forest Grove.

Yum!

Well... we've reached that wonderful point... Introducing SOLIDS!

Admittedly so, we have not been on top of this as we were with Ethan. But we're slowly and surely getting there. At about 4 months we started giving this little munchkin rice cereal. To which she was NOT a fan. And at about 5 months we felt it was okay to start with fruits and veggies, and juice. And once we introduced those foods, she started taking to the idea a lot more. Of course, she's just like her brother, and has had a hard time adjusting to the solid foods, but we're working through those issues!
