Sweet Pearce and his many faces...

Some cute pics of Pearce...

Cubs Rule? Or do they Drool?

For those of you that don't know, Jimmy is a Cardinals fan. Beth and Blake are Cubs fans. Well, Uncle Blake and Aunt Bethany could not help but give Pearce a Cubs onesie and Jimmy graciously agreed to 'allow' Pearce to have his picture taken in the onesie. He looks like a true natural. Jimmy was so proud...even if he was wearing the wrong uniform.

This, that and Pearce

Pearce got a Laugh and Learn puppy for Christmas, who we affectionately refer to as Lionel. Pearce and Lionel have become great friends and play, play, play. We love to sit and watch Pearce as he stares at Lionel like he has something wonderful to say. Here are a few pics of Pearce and Lionel bonding...

Pearce also has his lovie, Monty the Monkey. One of the cutest things Pearce does is pull Monty up to his face and cover his eyes. Here are a few pics of Pearce and Monty napping together.

Tonight on Delicious Dish...RICE...Mmmmm... RICE

Pearce ate his first solid food! Jimmy and I fed Pearce solids for the first time last Thursday and Pearce did really well. He made a few sour faces at first and then started leaning in to get the spoon like an old pro. He got more on his bib than he did himself but I think this will be the start of a beautiful friendship. Pearce and Rice Cereal...I can hear the bells....

Growing up...

Pearce has been changing so much over the past few days and weeks alone! In just the past days he has held his bottle all by himself, starting moving more frequently around the room (on his back), and appears to be ready for solids. He has started responding with delight when we try to tickle him too!

Every morning when I get ready, I put Pearce in his bouncer with me in the bathroom. Yesterday, I noticed he was arching his back and scooting down the bouncer. For fear that he would hit his head on the tile, I put him on the floor. Well, this morning I put Pearce in his swing while I picked up around the house. After a few minutes, I looked over and Pearce had scooted completely out of the swing and was sitting on the floor! After a few more swings, he lost his balance and toppled over. He seemed totally fine with it and even chuckled. Like any mean mommy would have, I took pictures of the incident. Guess I will have to start using those straps after all....
