Odin, 5 Months, and Other Excitement

May was a big month around here. Odin started eating food, and he has never been happier (although he looks very serious about the business in these pictures)...

This inspired Kenny to re-live his baby days by trying to eat all his meals in the high chair. Luckily this only lasted a couple days.

The lilacs bloomed and smelled amazing, like they do each year about this time...

and best of all, Chelsea, Edwin, and Eleanor came to visit from California!

Kenny showed Eleanor the ways of midwest babies: playing on the lawn and "swimming" in the kiddie pool.

Poor Eleanor, who is adjusted to the perfect climate of the bay area was HOT and sweaty here.

And she was the big girl compared to baby Odin.

Odin just loved watching everything she did. He is starting to be very aware of his surroundings.

It's pretty silly, but this is my favorite picture of the trip:

And this one:

Kenny continues to be a wonderful big brother:

He inherited a real motorcycle helmet from Grandpa Dave:

And we are ready for summer!
