Weekend of Baby Gordon Shower and Meyer Family Visit

I know that it has been a while since I have posted. Last weekend, Colin and I flew to Chicago to spend time with Gramma and Granpa Meyer, Aunt Anna, and our family friends. Deanna (Kohrs)Gordon is expecting and Baby Gordon is due St. Patrick's Day so I attended the Blessingway and shower. The Blessingway was a special time where the women in her life provided support and guidance to prepare her for the birth. Then the shower happened after the Blessingway, and there were so many people. It was a house full of gifts and gab. It was so nice to participate in the welcoming of a new person. The visit with Gramma, Granpa, and Aunt Anna was great too! We had a lot of fun playing around, laughing, signing, and giggling! I also had the opportunity after the shower to hang out with Aunt Sharon and Uncle Karl. Angie drove down and we spent some QT together as well! It was so great to see her open her birthday present. Her birthday is Jan. 28th! Colin and I packed things up and headed home. When Eric picked us up from the airport it took a moment for Colin to recognize Eric, but then Eric got a really big smile from Colin. Monday I was able to go skiing at Whitetail and CJ went to the daycare while I hit the slopes! It was a fantastic way to warm up to prepare for our trip to Steamboat, CO. This week we have had 2 snow days so far! Looking for a delay so I can sleep in tomorrow! Take care. A

On the front of feeding, I began using Plum and Happy Baby Foods to sneak in some veggies and fruits. CJ loves that he is able to squeeze food into his mouth!

Food Drama

It seems as though this particular month Colin has decided to stop eating the food we put in front of him. When we began our journey into solids, 6 months, and then finger foods, 8..5 months, Colin was a fantastic eater. Yeah, we would occasionally get some resistance about certain flavors or textures, but eventually we could get him eat it. Now Colin is anti all foods in front of him. We have tried spooning it in for him, and he won't take it. We have tried giving him exactly what we are eating and he won't eat it. Eric is extremely concerned and we feel helpless. Colin still gets some nutrients and vitamins through the am and pm nursing. Hopefully this too shall pass! We are getting ready to pack up and go visit Gramma and Granpa Meyer and Aunt Anna for a family-friend Baby Shower-Deanna! Just around the corner is Colin's First Birthday, a year of this cutie what a blessing! I will put some pics up later!
Take care!

Holidays with the Meyer Family

I am going to copy Angie and put some photos that help share our December travels story!

First we stopped off at Grandma and Grandpa Chase's house and opened our presents, Rufus and Carmen played a whole lot! Then we traveled to Gramma and Granpa Meyer's house and hung out there. Opened presents, watched some bears football, and hung out with some friends. We were able to spend some time with The Dockerys and the Kennedys in Wheaton, IL. While hanging out in LaGrange, IL we hung out with the Strzyz family at Strzyz Mannor. It was a fantastic time hanging out with everyone! It was nice to see all the kids growing like weeds! Hope everyone else enjoyed their holidays with their loved ones.

Love,

The Meyers
