Ok so I have to admit...going against the norm of feeding your baby has been hard. It's hard to do something different and feel encouraged.

Last week we went to the Oregon coast with Jeff's family. We had so much fun. Definitely something we want to do in the future. We stayed in a house right on the beach and got to play outside in the sand in the freezing cold. The weekend was really nice though, lots of sunshine. Most everyone got to fly a kite. And Eli got to play in the most dirt he has ever played...
