June Beginnings

June has started off well, we just got back from CA. We went to a wedding in Riverside, one of Nathan's friends Jaci got married. It was a beautiful ceremony and it was good to catch up as it'd been about 5 years since he'd seen her last. After the reception we headed up to Santa Monica for 2 days.

We had a great time, the kids did amazing all things considered, and the first family road trip is under our belts.

We spent a grand total of 2 hours, max, at the beach. It was fun, Katherine LOVED the sand, but it was also very cold.

We kept Jane out of the sun and cold wind by keeping her in her carseat with a sunshade wrapped around her.

Nursing on the beach was what you'd expect, do-able but akward.

We went to the Santa Monica pier, which we discovered was a mine field for toddlers. It's super cool and fun, but with all the warped boards covered in knots and big nails Katherine crashed like 4 times in the first 300 feet. I carried her the rest of the time.

Jane turned 6 months on the 7th. I just made baby apple sauce this morning so we'll be starting her on her first foods this week. She's so close to sitting on her own. She can sit for a minute or two, but not much longer. We've put her in her high chair but she's not in love with it, I think because she ends up slumped to one side.
