Thursdays with Sam | Food!

New thing today – Sam has started food!

This morning, Katie told me I had the very fun responsibility of introducing carrots. They’re one of my favorite foods, so I was hoping it would go well. and I must say – the first serving was … maybe not so great. But after bananas at mid-day, he seemed a lot happier with the carrots this afternoon.
She also told me “food is fun” at this stage. Indeed! It’s certainly a touch and taste experience. I also told her I maybe should’ve just fed him in the bathtub.
p.s. our neighbor passed away yesterday. I know his wife and family are feeling all the love and prayers from y’all – thank you!
Renie’s shawl … slow progress
p.p.s. we are watching the news about the terrible highway collapse in Atlanta. Katie normally travels that route every afternoon, but today – she had a business dinner downtown. She’s fine (and taking a different route home tonight) … and while she’s worried about what her commute will be for the next two weeks, she’s glad it’s just two weeks. Her new commute won’t be anywhere close to that intersection. It seems a miracle – but so far, no one’s been hurt. and I’ve got plenty of time to find a different route to visit her.

  1. I love the progression of Sam's expressions (and the first one would definitely be my reaction to mushed carrots)! Sending sincere sympathy and prayers to Renie and her family. I'm very glad to hear Katie is okay; she was the first person I thought of when I read the news and I hope her commute is only minimally affected for the next two weeks. Wishing you a quick, easy, and traffic-free route from your house to your two favorite grandsons!

  2. Adorable food fun pics, beautiful shawl. So sorry about your neighbor. Scary news about the highway collapse — so fortunate that Katie was elsewhere. Amazing that no one was hurt (and so happy that Andrew is not in ATL at the moment)!
