Sweet Potato

We have introduced rice cereal into Whit's diet here and there over the last few weeks. He seems to tolerate it fine and is learning how to eat it from the spoon better. Today we gave him sweet potatoes mixed in with the cereal and he wasnt too thrilled with it. He eventually ate it, but didnt seem to like it. Avery loved sweet potatoes! We will try again tomorrow! We are going to continue to make our baby food for now and see how it goes!

Babbling

Overnight Whit has expanded his babbling to include "gaga", "umm", "baba", and "mama". It's so strange how one day he isnt doing something and then the next day he is. It is super adorable and Im super stoked that he decided to babble mama first. Avery babbled dada for months and months before mama. I know it doesnt mean anything, but it is still cute to hear.
Whit continues to perfect his impression of a terydactyl (?).

Whit's Birthday

Whitfield James Stone was born at 8:15 (ish) on January 6, 2011. He weighed 8lbs 6oz and was 21 inches long. Avery was very cute when she met him for the first time. He is a sweet and beautiful little boy. We are so blessed.

Happy New Year!

New Year's Day walk on the beach. It was cold but beautiful. Avery played with her new trucks that Santa brought her. Here's to another wonderful year!

Christmas 2010

This year Christmas was so different. Avery was old enough to understand about Santa Claus and was interested in participating in decorating the tree and making cookies for Santa. She was so suprised when she came out of her room and found all the presents under the tree. She wanted to play with each of them as she opened them, making for a long Christmas morning. Grandma and Grandpa Stone came over and she enjoyed opening her presents from them. Later in the day we all went down to Grandpa and Grandma Baldwin's to eat and open presents there. It was a great Christmas!!

Avery's 2nd Birthday

Avery had a great 2nd birthday party with all her friends. We made a bunny birthday cake and decorated with pink and white streamers and balloons. We had lunch and open gifts with friends and family.

Grandma and Grandpa Stone come to visit

Jeff's grandparents came to visit on their way down to Florida for the winter. It was very cool to have 4 generations of Stones in one house! Avery loved seeing her great-grandparents again and got some good play-time in with both of them. We are very lucky to have such a great family!
