So Chompy and Momma went running today, but since we live in a new town, Momma wasn’t quite sure where all the roads led. One of the ones she chose, dead ended into a hiking trail. So, we went on it….it was a big, big hill. But, we made it ;)
The trail looking one way.

off-roading is tiring.
A great place to end our adventure…the park, so Chompy got to run around before we headed home.
Chompy has really taken us for a ride with learning to eat. He was slow to warm up to baby foods of all stages and then has been slow to adjust to eating solid, table foods. He appears to know how to do it, but just isn’t interested in eating unless its something that he likes i.e. bad stuff—fries, crust, baby cheetos ;) So, this weekend, Momma decided that she would one up him. She realized that Chompy likes the taste of pizza, so instead of pizza crust, he got whole wheat bread dipped in Fresh and Easy Marinara sauce (its ingredient list is only: tomato, garlic, basil, onion, and oregano). Not much to get upset over. It worked! In the last two days, he has eaten two slices of the bread in the veggies, a slice of nectarine, pear, and cherries and has used his spoon to eat the baby veggies that Momma gave him to supplement :) One win for the Momma and the boy!
Momma you are soooo embarrassing!
I’ve spent a lot of time with Daddy making the house look awesome!
I like my level!
Here’s some cutie pics from our two nights at Welk Resort in Escondido. Chompy again loves his cousin Cassidy and really enjoyed playing in the pool. He is a water boy for sure.
Showing Daddy the birdies.
I love swimming!!!

We are slowly getting into the new house and settling in. Chompy has been adventuring around the place and getting used to it.
Check out these cute curls.

Chompy says “Yay! I have a cousin face and I love him as long as my mommy is not holding him.”
We went out to Thousand Oaks on Saturday to introduce the two boys. We hope that they will be life long friends!!!
Grandma E. is now the grandma of two adventure-beasties!
Hmmm….what’s that in Grandma’s arms?
Papa….look at that baby. What’s he doing?
Finally! We are going on a walk.
Tia Daniellie, you are silly. Let’s go. The Erquiaga kids with their kids!
Cousin, let me help you. That mitten doesn’t look comfy to me. I’ll take it off for you.
Chompy has discovered the joy of pillows. They make a great crash landing pad. They can become steps to help reach high things. They are fun to throw.
