Lots of "Firsts"

Well, it's been a loooooooooooooooong time since we've updated our blog, and a lot has been going on since May! lol. I will update to our current situation, but for now, let's backtrack....

June 5, 2011 * Suri turned 5 months * sporting her stars & stripes & her new thing: sucking her bottom lip * silly girl

Since our last post in May, Seth attended summer school from mid-May until the end of July. He took Spanish 1 & 2 over 10 weeks (5 weeks for each class) & then decided to do a crazy 4 week class in Calculus! He was busy with homework from the moment he got home from school until about 9 pm, bedtime!!! He was super stressed, but in the end he made great grades & was happy to knock the classes out! As for Suri and me, we hung out at home - playing with toys, going for walks, reading books, watching movies - having our girl time!

Seth & I also went out on our first date (since Suri was born) in June! Our good friend Regina came to babysit Suri & we headed out for a nice dinner. We ate at The Brigantine (yummy seafood!) & looked at each other and said, "What did we use to talk about on dates?", "I don't know, starting a family.", "Well, I guess we should just enjoy the silence." Lol, we had totally forgotten how to be on a date. So we enjoyed our meal, enjoyed each other's company, and about an hour later, we were ready to go home! lol. It was a nice trial run :P

At 5 months, Suri got her first taste of food! We started out with sweet potatoes made at home & brown rice cereal, then gradually added bananas, squash, apples, carrots & peas to the mix! She had a little difficulty grasping the concept of the spoon at first, but now she's mastered it!

We celebrated Seth's first Father's day by making him some yummy cookies & getting him a book called, "Daddy's Girl", that he could read to Suri at bed time. After reading it, he says, "Did you look at this first?" Umm...sort of, why? His favorite line of the book: 'Of all the babies you're the fattest one, You big-leg women are a load of fun!'

Also for Father's day, Seth's parents came down for a visit and we took a trail hike at Torrey Pines. We went to Gordon Biersch for brunch, and Suri enjoyed her first time in a high chair! It was a beautiful day & a nice time spent with loved ones!

Another first, Suri tried out her jumper! Didn't quite get the hang of it, but we'll try it out again soon!

This was the beginning of our amazing summer....

she's also developed a shoe fetish :) such a girl!
