Rice Cereal

On Friday we started Garrett on rice cereal. I don’t know that he got very much down but practice makes perfect.  He was pretty cute trying to eat off a spoon for the first time.

Time to Myself!

Eeekkk!  I could jump for joy! I think Garrett is finally getting onto a sleep schedule!  To my utter amazement he has been sleeping though the night for over a month and now at just over four months he is consistently waking up and going down for his morning nap at the same time everyday!  YAY!  Do you know what this means??!! It means that I can start getting back into a routine too. I can clean the house, update my blog, do laundry and maybe catch up on some reading. I can have some time to myself. This is huge!

This is a picture I took of Garrett this morning while we were playing. :)

Trip to Virginia!

This Ditson clan just got back from a fantastic visit to Virginia where we were lucky enough to see Matthew’s cousin James graduate from high school, introduce Garrett to some of his extended family including his Great Grandpa, and tour around Washington DC.  The Metro was only a short walk away from our hotel so we were able to get around easily. It was extremely hot in DC while we were there, but we still managed to get some sight seeing done and go to a couple baseball games. Other exciting news includes Garrett rolling over for the first time on Sunday June 12 in the presence of Uncle Dana, Aunt Joan, Aunt Val, and of course his mom and dad. We were also lucky enough get to have a quick lunch with my family at DIA during our layover on the way home. Garrett was a champ on our plane rides and true to form was a happy little baby the entire trip. It was a wonderful and much needed break from Great Falls life.

It was a little too hot outside for Garrett so he slept most of the time.
But he loved the fish tank at the museum!
