Firsts

*It seems as if Bryan and I are always saying "Seth's first... and fill in the blank." We thought it would be fun to start a recurring firsts post. The funny thing is, sometimes we have new experiences and firsts of our own, so I thought I would try to include some of them, too.

**All of these have happened since the last "firsts" post.

Seth's Firsts:

• going to a storm shelter
• witnessing a flood
• riding an escalator (daddy helped him stand up)
• tried: spinach, beef, celery, rutabaga, potatoes, garlic, lentils, prunes, peaches, tomatoes, basil, and pasta in a pureed form and mixed with other ingredients
• ate apple and pear slices, cheese, bananas, and baby puffs as finger foods
• army crawling
• going from his belly to a sitting position and can do it very well
• can put a finger food in his mouth by himself
• had baby garlic breath from the homemade food (so cute, but also kind of weird)
• tried to stand up on his own
• pulled up to a standing position on his crib
• crawled across the living room floor

Stephanie's Firsts:

• breastfeeding in semi-public (the storm shelter with 15 other people) under a blanket of course
• witnessing a flood
• going to a storm shelter
• cooking and eating rutabaga (boy, those things are hard to chop or at least the one I had was)
• was told that I had a "mommy" haircut

Bryan's Firsts:

• shaving off all facial hair since he had grown a mustache and goatee
• driving in a flood
• asking for directions (during a flood) and not stopping for a second to contemplate having his wife go do it instead :)
