A hungry belly and a girl doing ballet

Finn LOVES to eat. It's pretty funny that he's as little as he is because the boy can put some food away! If he sees me starting to fix his bottle or food he'll start fussing and if we don't get it fast enough it turns into a full-on cry. Then, once we start feeding him, if we don't keep shoveling it in his mouth fast enough then he cries more. When we finish the first part of his dinner we better have the second part ready quickly or it's more tears. It's funny because it's one of the few times when he's not the sweetest, smiley-est boy you've ever seen.
Maggie's Grandma and Grandpa Howard gave her ballet lessons and clothing for her birthday and we've been having so much fun with it. There are about 15 3-5 year-old girls in her class and it's funny to watch them all being so "elegant". One of Maggie's best and cutest friends, Ivey, is in class with her and they are hilarious to watch. Anyway, I am so proud to watch Maggie at class every week because she really wants to learn and tries so hard to get everything right. Thanks to her wonderful teacher, Miss Heather, and the hard work Grant and I have been doing at home, she is such a good listener and direction-follower. In the photo below you can see many of the other girls goofing off and Maggie (second from the right) is following her teacher's direction as closely as possible (here she's in 2nd position about to plie). (I don't know how to do an accent mark on blogger so sorry that it looks like "plie"!)
