Twenty Five and First Food

The past couple weeks have been lots of fun and we have been busy. Taylor and I got to go on a date! Just me and him, which is the first time since Taylor's work Christmas party. We got some friends from the ward to watch Fife and went to eat at Old Country Buffet with my free birthday meal, it was delicious. And then we went ice skating! It was a lot harder than we both remembered. I had fun, Taylor says he is never going ice skating again, we shall see. 

The next day we went in to the city with our upstairs neighbors Kirsten and Mike and went to a Persian New Year Festival at one of the Smithsonians.  The festival was super crowded, it took us like 30 minutes to find parking, and then we had the stroller so we had to find the elevator every time we wanted to go somewhere new and maneuver through the crowds of people, so we wished we had brought the moby wrap. But it was fun to just spend some time out and get to know our neighbors better. They had fire jumping, and mask/crown making, and storytelling and Persian food, and a scavenger hunt. We spent a bit there and then the crowds got the better of us so instead we just walked around outside through the art garden. It was a beautiful day.

Taylor and I made this crown for our little prince... who are we kidding, he is the king of the house.

The 12th was my Birthday and I turned 25! I can't believe I'm that old, or young. It's weird, I feel much younger than 25, but then at the same time I feel like I've lived longer than 25 years. I spent the day with Fife, he is the best company. That night we went to dinner at Denny's to bring back the good times in Provo. We went to Denny's when we were dating a couple times, to celebrate Taylor getting a job, the night we found out I was pregnant to celebrate, and for my birthday last year for breakfast where I threw up both before and after my free grand slam (yay for morning sickness!). This year Taylor ate my free grand slam and I got dinner food, I didn't feel like breakfast for dinner.

Afterwards we went to Krispy Kreams and then to Walmart to get cheesecake and ice cream. When we got home we ate the cheese cake and ice cream while we watched 24. It was a pretty awesome day.

Taylor and my mom sang to me, it was beautiful

Fife is now 5 moths! He can't really do too many "new" tricks, he's just been refining working on his old ones. He is as cute as ever! We love him so much! He has started on eating solid foods. So far he has eaten baby oatmeal, and butternut squash. I've made up some apples that he is going to try tonight! I think he likes eating real food, and he LOVES making a mess while he does it.

This is the first time Fife ate food, it is baby oatmeal.

This last weekend it was very nice out so we went on a walk to the farmers market to get our produce for the week and then afterwards drove to a park to play some frisbee. It was fun and refreshing. We joined Taylor's work team and will be starting games soon!

Fife made some spectacular dives, we happened to get a picture of one of them.

That is some frisbee player

We went to Chevy's last night to use one of my birthday coupons, it was delicious and it was nice not to have to cook!
