We have a really tough time getting Jadon to eat his vegetables. Chocolate Zucchini Cake and Carrot Cake were pretty much what we were depending on as he also does not eat corn! (We are going to try corn on the cob this week though) We stumbled on this really great drink that Will makes up on a weekly basis and it's like ice cream to Jadon. Don't tell him, but this Green Smoothie is full of spinach and broccoli!

Eating Vegetables

Stair Climbing
Seven days ago, a trip up the stairs took 5 minutes - now he's down to just over a minute!
Ian is now a little over 9 months old and changing every day. He has started cruising (holding on to furniture and walking), holding his own sippy cup up, and following dropped objects. Him and Jadon "talk " to each other all the time and he is starting to say "da da" Will thinks that he also says "ma ma" but to tell you the truth it's more like "da da da" or "ma ma ma".
Ian helps wake Jadon up in the morning - when he see's Jadon, he makes a bee line for Jadon's bed and starts chatting away. Soon they are both talking and heading for their respective potty's. It is then down to breakfast where the interaction continues. Ian loves watching his big brother jump, run, and tumble. Jadon enjoys making Ian laugh by doing the above! They do have times of crying and sibling rivalry which we referee, but we love to see them interact together.
If Will or I lay on the floor it is instantly followed by Ian and Jadon climbing all over us and tumbling resulting in a human jungle gym. The Bower clan keeps busy and out of trouble with lots of wrestling, running and climbing. Times of fun and busyness that I don't want to end, that I savor and look for my next opportunity to love on all 3 of my boys!

Game of Chase
With Ian crawling, the kids are starting to play together, and it is fun to watch. I think life is supposed to have these times of joy to help us to keep-on keeping-on when things are tough.
Blessings,
Will
