Happy Easter

Have a wonderfully blessed Easter!!
From the Root Family

This year is an especially blessed Easter. I precious baby boy gets to have his first Easter, and eventhough he's too young to know what its all about yet, we will soon be able to share the incredible story of God's love with him and begin directing his spiritual path.

This year also begins the ongoing picture taking at each holiday. We had these pictures taken at a local studio (yes, that is a real lamb!!) and he was just a good baby, and he smiled and laughed so easily. We are blessed to have such a happy baby!

I found it very inspiring and divine that his first professional picture was for Easter and featured a lamb. It made be reflect on what Jesus did for us, as the 'Lamb' of God, and the "lamb led to the slaughter" to cleanse all of us unworthy humans of our sins.

This Easter will be a blessed time of remembrance, thankfulness and praise!

Happy Easter!!

May God reign blessings upon all of you!

a new stage - rice cereal

now that my baby boy is 4 months old, we got the ok from our doctor to start tyler on rice cereal with his formula twice a day. after starting off VERY messy, we finally got the right consistency with the formula and tyler is getting used to the different texture.
for awhile, we were using a specialized bottle that we put the cereal in that was suppose to help with the transition. it ended up being very messy and not really worth the headache... although it did help tyler get used to eating and swallowing. we used a combo of the new bottle with cereal, spoon-feeding, and the regular bottle with the formula.
he's getting the hang of it now and its so cute to watch him eat.
i have pictures in my camera that i will post soon.
