Happy Easter Weekend

We had a big weekend with a long list of firsts. On Friday afternoon, we loaded Ryan into the Snugli in the backpack position to take Casey to play ball. He enjoyed chewing on the strap:


On Saturday, even though it was overcast, I decided to get out and pull some weeds. Ryan oversaw my work to ensure I didn't miss any.

For Easter we went to services at Shepherd of the Hills, the Presbyterian church Sam grew up attending. They had a lovely bell choir, which Ryan found quite entertaining:

After church we went to Sam's parent's house for lunch (or is it supper when it takes place at 2 pm? Why are holiday meals eaten at such random hours?).

Our adventure at Lutheran Hospital was finally published in the paper. Here Ryan checks out his front-page photo (notice the budding "sitting up" skills!).

He's wearing shoes - another first!

Finally, we decided to give Ryan his first taste of "real" food (rice cereal diluted with breastmilk) later Sunday night. He thought it was pretty good!

Some of it did actually go in his mouth...

This morning (Monday) I learned that Ryan's homegirls also got a taste of cereal-y goodness:
