EWETAH

Cedrik loves to copy.  For some reason when he says Utah, it sounds like ewe-tah.  I know that looks like how it should sound...but it somehow comes out a little bit differently.  He also says sit but it sounds more like the four letter word starting with "s". And sometimes when he says kiss, it comes out like the five letter word that starts with "b".  The letter b is big in his vocab, and so is the "sh" sound. 

Wow, long intro.  We went to Utah.  Our nephew Riley turned 8 and was baptized.  It was a fun time and the three cousins, Cedrik, Bowen and Taycee all played together.  They are all very funny and each have their own personalities but it was nice to see them really interact with each other. 

One of the best parts of Cedrik's day. Riding in Grandpa's truck...with Grandpa AND Dad.

REAL beef.

Learning to fake fight with Riley.

Dylan turned 15 so his birthday was celebrated too!

Food!

The long awaited day.  Freddie has eaten real food.  He has tried and liked:
Banana
Avacado
Pears
Peaches

Spinach, broccoli, pear mix
Carrot, sweet potato, apple mix
Those little rice puffs that do absolutely nothing for him

He has tried and disliked/made him gag:
Baby food from a jar
Peas
Carrots
Plain veggie mix

Cedrik really wants to help him eat

Play Dates

 This summer has been unusually busy with playdates.  Each week Cedrik gets to play with Connor and Lily while Adrienne and I get to talk and talk and talk and talk. Ok, we do plan things for the kids to do so they aren't running around wild, well, kind of.  But he has also been able to play with Amelia and her little brother (a few months younger than Freddie) Colin.  Amelia and Cedrik are both getting into the "not wanting to share" stage so it is a little more tiresome to keep them happy with each other.  But, they love to hug each other.  And Connor, likes to kiss Cedrik, on the mouth.  Adrienne has told me that he doesn't do that to any other kids...at least they are loving!
