Andy and I got each other a Granny Smith Apple tree for our 4th anniversary (the traditiona gift is fruit/flowers). This is the first year it has produced fruit. Lucas has enjoyed keeping an eye on the fruit trees this summer. Every time we went outside he had to walk back there to check them out and he would want to find all the "baby apples." He helped pick the apples and put them in the basket. For such a small tree, it produced quite a few.
Lucas kept wanting to eat the apples but I made him wait until we could bake them in a pie, and of course he was a big help with mixing up the pie. He found out he likes the taste of straight sugar. We had just enough for one very yummy pie.
Adam got his first taste of cereal this week. He was fussy a few nights in a row while we were eating, so we thought he might want to try eating like a big boy. He didn't care for it very much, but the messy face picture sure is cute. We are going to keep trying every couple of nights until he gets a little better with the spoon.
Adam also got to try his exersaucer this week for the first time, and he loves it. He is already turning in circles and playing the toys attached. Lucas loves to spin him around and play with the toys too. Adam is just growing up so fast. He is getting very curious so he loves to sit up where he can watch what is going one. We watched a Seasme Street video this weekend that Lucas liked when he was a baby and Adam cackled everytime Elmo came on and danced.
Lucas also sat on his potty for the first time this weekend. He said "Poop, potty." so we thought we should try. He didn't go but he sat there grunting and laughing at himself for quite a while. We'll see where it leads, but for now we are just letting him lead the way, but you gotta start somewhere.
