Starting Baby Cereal - June 29th

Clearly the first attempts at eating cereal were not successful! Charlie hated eating solid food for at least a couple weeks. It was miserable feeding him... he would cry, spit, and push everything out with his tongue. And then suddenly one day, he just miraculously looked up at me opened his mouth, took the food, swallowed, and has done so ever since. Amen.

Hunting Wild Pigs - June 20th

Emily and I are so proud. I mean, who wouldn't want to be married to these two. They really bring home the bacon! Just kidding, we defintely did not eat these gross looking pigs but the guys sure had a great time hunting them.

Visit to Austin - Meeting Great Grandparents

Charlie and I flew to Austin June 10th for a visit with family. Charlie got to meet his great-grandfather Charles Ireland, who he is named after, as well as his great-grandmother and my mom's sisters and their families. My mom and youngest 2 siblings were out there as well. So, we had a great time hanging out with everyone and Charlie did amazingly well on his first plane ride.

Saturday at the Pool - May 31st

Patrick and Emily came over for a Saturday afternoon at the pool. You can see Patrick's great form and Bobby's more creative interpretation of a back flip. We had a great time, but definitely figured out that babies don't last long at the pool.
