Kids!

Our friend, Heidi, has her own urban farm, which is much more involved than ours, and she lives in a neighborhood just 2 minutes from us. They happen to have goats and one of the mamas just had babies, so we went to go see them. Baby goats are the cutest! She had three baby boys, so I welcomed her into the three boys club. I'm glad I didn't have all mine at once though! They are named Old Spice (b/c he was stinky when he came out), Jake, and Donny V.

Unfortunately, we heard some sad news yesterday that one of the baby goats didn't make it. They had to put the darker brown and black one down because they discovered he didn't have a hole for poop to come out. Poor thing! He wasn't eating and had a huge belly. I'm sure he was miserable. So sad.

Here's Jed with Jake

The brown one in the back is Donny V.

Max eats baby food

The day Max turned 6 months old, I gave him his first bite of solid food. He had some whole grain rice cereal mixed with a bit of warmed breast milk...mmm! I'm not sure why they call it solid food because most baby food is really soupy and mushy. He liked it though. In fact he kept diving toward the spoon to eat it. He has gotten the idea now that he just has to open his mouth and I'll put the spoon in. So far, Max has only had the rice cereal and mashed bananas, but avocado and sweet potatoes are in the near future. It hasn't been too messy yet, but I'm sure that's in the near future, too.

I like when Jed gags toward the end of the video and says, "that is pretty yuck".
