S'mores

I dedicate this post to my aunts that told me I need to blog more because they are not on Facebook to see the pictures I post each day of Buttercup and the Amigos. Hi, Aunties!

While I was in Utah last week visiting family I got some HUGE marshmallows that my cousin had talked about on Facebook. The boys could hardly wait to toast them tonight.





To show you how big they really are I will show you El Guapo taking his second bite of one.

Crazy, right?


They were kind of hard to roast because they were so big and heavy. I think it would have been easier if we had used something other than wire hangers, but we were being resourceful.




The marshmallows are so big that you can use two whole graham crackers and an entire Hershey's bar. Yum!



They were enjoyed by all.





Well, all but one...

One day, Buttercup. One day.


I am seriously considering having my sister send a few bags of the marshmallows and throwing a s'mores party on National S'mores Day, which is August 10th (who knew?)
Anybody in?

4 months

I am a bit late on this, but I have to share Buttercup's 4 month picture with her giraffe.



She had her 4 month check up the other day and she has gone from being in the 6th percentile at 2 weeks old (I know, so tiny!) to being in the 80th percentile! She is turning out to be like the Amigos. They were all chunky babies. She was something like the 75th percentile for her height also. I think she just about doubled her weight in a month and a half.




We decided to start Buttercup on solid food today. I think at first she was wondering what we (Dusty, Ned and Grandma D) were doing standing around the table looking at her.



I think she would have been satisfied to sit and chew on her bib for a while. I love watching babies first learn to bring things to their mouths. So cute.



This is what she thought of the rice cereal.






She definitely liked the bib better.



Hopefully tomorrow will be a little better and she will get more in her tummy than on her face.
