Exciting times

Such a big boy in his chair!  Yesterday Rebeca started Scotty on pears.  He LOVED them.  So now he's tried bananas, carrots and pears.
Here he's playing the endless game of throwing something to the ground. 


It's pretty hot there in Tucson, so this is how to beat the heat.  It's called a Paper Towel Hat.  It's a wet paper towel put on his head.  Sometimes he wears a Paper Towel Shirt, too!!

And this picture is from today!

Guillermo's turn

To set off the security alarm.  The first thing he usually does every morning is turn off the alarm before getting the newspaper.  But this morning - he just opens the door first thing!  There goes the alarm.  So, we're scrambling to get on the phone as fast as possible to let the alarm company know it was our mistake. Ha- ha.  No harm done but it makes us cringe.  I did the same thing about a year ago.

My Mother's Day flowers are looking prettier than ever!


Jason sent us this picture yesterday.

And this picture today

So, today is Wednesday, and I forgot to mention that on Monday, the little napper that Scotty uses BROKE!!  I don't think Scotty was in it, but it's not good news because that little napper was Scotty's favorite place in which to sit around or to nap or whatever.  He had grown to feel very comfortable in it and since it was so portable, Rebeca and Jason (and even I when I was there) used it a LOT!!!  All day long!!  Jason went out that very evening to buy another napper but the store was sold out.  So, the picture above shows what Scotty has to use now.  It's a swing and it's not the same - it's definitely not as portable and small as the napper and not as comfy since the little napper had lots of mesh for good air circulation.  But for now, it will have to do.  This was the napper I'm talking about.  At least he got a good 4 months use out of it.

We celebrated Mother's Day today!


First with lunch at Viola's Mexican Restaurant
 Linda, Skye, Mom

Myra holding her son Flynn, Mom looking like a proud great-grandmother, and looking equally as proud Flynn's grandma Kathy

Chris, Flynn, Jacob, Skye and Myra

 Kathy, Mom, Linda and Guillermo




Then after a really nice and enjoyable lunch everyone came to our house for coffee and little lemon cakes.  Then we had fun looking at a few YouTube videos on TV.

Something other than milk!

So, today was a big day for Scotty - and for Rebeca and Jason.  Today they gave Scotty his first taste of a food other than milk!  A little bit of banana - and Scotty liked it!

Here's Scotty sitting in his little tray chair like such a big boy!  And getting ready to enjoy a new taste.

This is all just so fascinating - and kinda weird!!!  They're not holding me in their arms, there's no nipple or bottle and this stuff on this hard thing feels a little thicker - oh but it's oh so good!!!!

Wow, this world is so exciting!  Who knew there was this OTHER stuff that could be eaten?????

Working hard

It was just going to be "take off a few boards and replace them".

It's almost like the whole deck is being redone.

New mat

So, Scotty got a new playtime mat!
Here he is on it, loving hitting the piano thing at the end with his feet!

My new mat is fun and I'm somehow making music when I hit something down there with my feet!
