Are Babies Really Expected to Eat That?

I gave Hayden meat for the first time today. It was Gerber chicken in a jar. As soon as I opened it and smelled that nasty stuff I knew this was going to be interesting. After the first bite Hayden made the weirdest face and then started twitching a little. Here is what I am talking about.

Needless to say that was the last bite. Poor guy. I can't believe babies are expected to eat that junk. Any suggestions on how I am supposed to get Hayden to eat meats?

Enjoy The Last Days of Summer

Last weekend we went to our cabin at Timber Lakes, above Heber. We had such a good time in the great outdoors. I didn't get that many pictures but here are a few.

We all had a blast playing rock band on the wii. Even Hayden got in on the fun. Just like his shirt says "I want to rock!"

Most people who know Justin know that he can't resist playing any gaming system. Justin and our nephew Jaxon played plenty of smash brothers. The best part is that Jaxon, who is five, beat Justin quite a few times.

Do you think he was excited about the wins?

What a cutie!

We didn't spend the whole weekend inside playing video games. We went on tonz of four-wheeler rides and had fun around the campfire each night. I love the outdoors.

That weekend we also went boating with my sister Amber and her husband Jeff. Justin was so thrilled to finally wake board again after two years. He also tried the wake skate and did really well. I filmed him doing some cool stuff on the wake skate. But is that what I am going to post..... oh no. I think this is much more fun to watch.

I have been meaning to update everyone on Hayden's neck because I keep getting questions about it. I am VERY happy to inform everyone that Hayden no longer has Torticollus! After weeks of physical therapy and lots and lots and lots of stretches/exercises, Hayden's neck is much stronger and straighter. The physical therapist gave us the clean bill of health two weeks ago and we couldn't be happier. Not only because we wanted Hayden's neck fixed, but I don't think I could handle taking him to another appointment. Every single time we had to go to the physical therapist Hayden would cry- no, SCREAM the entire time. Thankfully we never have to go back! I'm so grateful we were able to fix the problem early.

*This is my random side note. I got the new Stephenie Meyer book Breaking Dawn. (Which my mother-in-law was so nice to get for me. Thanks Edith!) I just finished reading it yesterday and I am sad to say that I was not all that impressed. I really enjoyed reading the last three books so I am sad I didn't like this one. It definitely had some great parts, but overall I felt it was too slow and anticlimactic. I'm interested to hear what those who have read it think. Do you agree or disagree?
