February update

I've hardly taken any photos at all this month and for that I apologize to everyone waiting patiently. So to make up for the small number of pictures I'll give a good update on what's going on with the Fringers these days. February has been a month of small changes for us. Sierra turned 1/2 a year and started eating some veggies and fruits. Luckily I did get photo and video documentation for her first taste of peas. It was great entertainment for me but she clearly didn't like it so much. But she showed her determination to grow up by eating it like a star at the second try. I was all set up to show Rob the screamfest we had earlier that day but she didn't even make a sour face (trying to prove me a liar).
The small change for me is that starting next week I'll be working one day a week at a new job. I'll be getting back into bookkeeping and helping out someone who Rob knows. I think I'll enjoy this since it is only one day and I'll get to use the skills that I'm familiar with as opposed to these mom skills I'll be learning every day for the rest of my life. That also leads me to Rob's small change of being the stay at home parent for that day each week. It works out great that I will work on Rob's day off so he will have this great opportunity for daddy day with Sierra. He'll be great but just to test his abilities everyone call him on Thursday :)
Oh yeah, the other small change from February is that we are now a minivan family, yikes! For everyone who knows me you may be shocked but just to clarify, no I did not give up my jeep to Rob, he is the one driving the minivan. He's still trying to sell me on the merits of the extra space and conveniences but I have a feeling I'll be fighting it for a long time.
Here are the new pictures you've been waiting for:

The first taste of peas - the screaming started two bites after this shot

Six months is quickly approaching. We've been busy learning a few new things like sitting up as you can see. She can stay up on her own for a little while before toppling over to her side, or I've learned that if she leans forward for too long she'll spit up. I don't blame her since that's only comfortable if you work out ALOT and are very flexible. I'd be complaining a lot too :) We've also started using her highchair for meal times this week which has been a fun experiment in how to stay clean while shoving rice cereal in her mouth. Not too many interesting things going on in the Fringer household these days but we're having fun! I'll see if I can get an interesting post in next week as we celebrate her 1/2 birthday. Thanks for tuning in!
