I’m writing from Mass. right now. We took a Memorial Day trip up here to visit family and attend a cousin’s wedding. We decided to stay one extra day since we just weren’t ready to leave and we also thought we might avoid all the holiday travelers…I hope we are right.

We have only been here a few days and I can’t believe how much Abel has changed. He started WALKING!!! Every day he is getting better and better. He also is saying a few new words and he just transition to actual MILK! I had heard horror stories how breastfed and formula fed babies have a hard time switching to milk. I was running low of formula and thought why don’t I just try and it see what happens. He drank the whole thing and never make a face! Wow, something was actually easy.  I’ll count my blessings.

We had a little birthday celebration up here so Seth’s family could celebrate his one year birthday. We had a combo party since Abel and his Grandma Nickerson share the same birthday (June 4) and his Grandpa Nickerson’s birthday is on May  26. His favorite dessert (so far) is cheesecake so Grandma Nickerson made him some homemade cheesecake and he devoured the whole thing! (pictures to come)

But for now, so I don’t leave you photoless…these picture were taken a few weeks ago when Abel’s girl friend Ava come to visit. We threw them in the bath together and they didn’t really play nicely together. These pictures were taken before the meltdowns happened.

Curious Ava

Things are still looking good…

Abel is wondering why someone else is in his tub.

Here comes the meltdown…
