tantrums & splash parks

oh hello world of tantrums. you're oh so fun. what ever did we do before you graced us with your presence. SIKE. lord have mercy, i mean we aren't throwing ourselves on the ground kicking yet but we are definitely discovering attitude with a capitol A.

here's a minor fit during dinner. some days it's hard & we don't want to eat a darn thing. he really is SO over purees but it's one of the few ways i can get vegetables in him.

i make him the vegetable cake each week. i have avocado/applesauce ice cubes that i put in his lil popsicle thing.

i try giving him raw uncooked carrots & he'll play with them but not really eat em.

he'll naw on some celery if it has peanut butter, but really he just wants to get his hands dirty & rub em all up in his hair.

i'm reading deceptively delicious for some ideas & it's got a few good ones. but if you all have any secrets- i'd love to hear em!


after dinner i had a portrait session down at the lake-not-really-a-lake-anymore, so bryan & finn came with & were going to play at the splash park. here's the lake i mentioned.
our balloon dams burst & it drained in like 3 hours or something ridiculous. i mean, really balloon dams? who came up with that?!

this was our first time visiting the tempe splash park & he was a little timid. he'd only been around fountains one or two other times- during our mother's day portrait session- where he cried & in boulder, where he wasn't a big fan & i think cried!



bryan trying to tempt in him into the sprinklers.
but he loved running around.
this way to the little pool...
ahhh. our sunsets kick some major ass. isn't this one beautiful?
happy monday. it's been a crazy two weeks & then next two weeks are just as crazy, but i will do my best to keep the posts coming!!
