Soccer update, Flag Football & Caz's first bites

We have been up to the usual this week....school, work, and soccer.  But we had some new additions to our spring schedule too...Nate's flag football games and Caz enjoying rice cereal.  First, a soccer update from this weekend: MC had her first game with no score. :(  But she did get one assist and her team won another blowout.  So it was still a great game.  Nate had a super defensive game as he continued to 'mix it up.'  He played goalie for a quarter of the game blocking two of two shots from the other team.  And at the end of the game playing defender, he had a key block to keep the game tied at 2-2.

In flag football news, Nate and his teammates had a fun game.  In other words, it was chaos with as much socializing and horse play as football, but they certainly enjoyed themselves. :)  Below you get a sense of the laughing and chatting going on as Nate confers with his teammates, but he's ready, gloves, mouthpiece and all.

At almost 6 months, Caz enjoyed some rice cereal this weekend.  It's much later in his life for this first than with Mari Cagle and Nate, but he was ready.  He had no trouble at all with swallowing it down, and he really seems to enjoy the stuff.  It was definitely the easiest first feeding I've experienced.  I have to give a shout out to my camera woman, MC.  She took all the pictures for me while I fed him.  She even worked two cameras, mine and her own while Dad worked the video camera.  Enjoy her awesome shots...

Ready for that first bite, not sure what is about to happen.

Waiting patiently for Mom to thicken it up some.  She was a little rusty.

Getting the hang of it.

Wondering why Mom had to take the spoon away, it seemed perfect for chewing on, as good as any toy.

Keeping an eye on Dad.  You never know what he's up to.

He's got the hang of it and now seems to be enjoying it.

Yum!

Look at the mess Mom made of me dripping cereal on me and splashing it on my head.  She wasn't just a 'little' rusty.

All done!
