Life at the Chicken Coop

Pixie Dust, Fairy Glitter and Gerber's Rice Cereal

We got some happy mail today in the form of a package from Grandma Scrimsher. Inside (among other things): some fairy hair glitter.

I had to pry it out of Lucy's hands before I put her down in her crib for her nap today. She loves it. She has a little in her hair and then the most, well, yes, you can see: on her cheeks.

Then yesterday Finn concocted this giant tower around Miles. If you look closely, you can see a little wide-eyed baby under the laundry basket.

And, solids! Miles got his first experience with solid foods this week. He still has no idea what the stuff is and why anyone would prefer it to breast milk, but he gets better and better each day taking it in. Today he just splurted it back out at me, spraying his periphery with little white dots. I had forgotten how messy it can be feeding solids to a 5-month-old!
