April has been a busy month. Ailbe now has two teeth which means it's time to get her on the food. As it is she stares longingly at what we're eating so with the appearance of her choppers I decided to bust out her highchair and get some rice. The first attempt did not go so well. You may have seen the video on Facebook and if you haven't check it out because I can't seem to get it reposted. Imagine the whole video looking something like this: 
It's been 4 years since I've had to introduce foods and to be honest I don't remember all the rules. I briefly read the side of the rice box and then just slapped some formula and rice together. I don't recall Rooney ever having an issue with the consistancy but Ailbe seems a little more particular. She loves food now, even peas! We think she's working on a couple more teeth but they haven't cut through yet. So far, so good and she's still as sweet as ever. We've only used about 3 teething tablets. Hopefully we'll stay on this streak through the molars.
Rooney is still doing swimming and karate. Swimming has recently taken the forefront since we registered him for swim team starting in June. He has graduated to another level in swimming lessons and is now on Youth Level 3. My understanding is that there are only 5 youth levels then he would go to adult level. I'm not exactly sure what that means but he's doing pretty well. The other boy in his class is 8 years old and there are some differences but Roon is holding his own pretty well. He's such a goofball normally but while doing his lessons he seems to be all business. After the first day of class he said to me "Whew, I worked hard during that class". 
Speaking of working hard...I ran my first 5K yesterday since having Ailbe. In February I got my old running coach to do a Couch to 5K class here in Renton. A handful of moms I know did the class with me and a few of us ran the Seahawks 12k/5k at The Landing. It was a great day and the race started at a reasonable hour. Mike, Rooney and Ailbe came out to support their mom. It felt great getting back into it and we are already planning our next 5K for the end of the month.
