| Ari waking up in the morning - who cannot have a good day when you wake up to that cute face!! |
Seth decided to start the tradition of making breakfast and serving it to mommy in bed. It was cute. After I smelled burning, he came in to see if by chance I wanted to come and help. He was making Breakfast Quinoa and it had boiled over and burned. It didn't appear to be cooked all the way and looked super brown. He had put in 8 times the cinnamon because he thought last time it didn't have enough. :) So after we cooked it a little longer, we went back and ate it in bed. It was very cute of him and actually turned out pretty good in the end. A good tradition to start I think. Maybe a few more practices and he will have it down perfect. What a good husband! I must say, these past couple of weeks, he has conquered the breakfast-burrito-making. He makes a killer breakfast burrito with eggs, bacon, cheese and tortillas.

Well it is official, Ari sits up very well on her own. She is learning to scoot forward and is good at going backwards. She is getting quite strong and can stand up for quite awhile if she is holding on to something. She loves to suck on the metal part of her binkie clip as shown in the photo. She just started adding rice cereal to her diet and doesn't seem to love it too much. She loves finding her voice and making herself known.

Ari wants to be a grown up, she loves spoons. And she loves to pretend she is getting a drink from our glasses. She feels like such a big girl. We've started transitioning her to her crib for naps and nighttime. Well she starts the night off in her crib and usually at some point in the night comes and joins us in bed. We are working on that one. She loves hair, as most babies do, and will play with Mommy's hair or her own hair while she lulls herself to sleep.

Other news, Seth is now the Ward Mission Leader, which is a great calling for him. I think he will do a great job. I just got called to be in the Primary Presidency (1st Counselor). That will be a new one for me, I have never done much with the Primary. The Primary in our Ward is very small, probably less than 20 kids. I think I will enjoy it, I am a little sad that I will miss Relief Society. I really enjoy Relief Society, but I am excited for my new calling.
We went and got Ari a passport. We hope to take a fun vacation before she is too mobile. We are thinking Cancun. We'll see what happens. We are going to San Antonio in June for a little Paul Nielsen family reunion so we will see how she does with travel. We are excited to go and see the family!
Anyone have good Father's Day traditions they like? I want to start something fun. I was thinking maybe a special meal each year? Ideas??
