Rice cereal

Campbell is now a bit over 4 months.  Last week at her check-up, the doctor said we could try rice cereal with her.  We decided tonight was the night.  I made a small bowl and I guess it was too runny because she kept making this terrible face and "spitting" it out.  Once I added at bit more cereal to the mushy mix, she ate it right up.

Evolution. And monkey bars.

The other day Blake and I were watching Good Morning America when a story about the Loch Ness Monster came on.  He learned something about it last year and I told him that it was related to the dinosaurs.  We then went on to talk all about descendants of dinosaurs- alligators, lizards, birds, etc.  Then we went on to talk about snakes.  He said "well snakes are actually from dinosaurs.  They used to walk around on the ground like this (on his hands and knees) and then Adam and Eve ate this apple that God told them not to eat and boom, it turned into a snake with no arms and legs."

Then I told him that some people believe that people evolved from monkeys and asked him if he saw a resemblance between monkeys and people.  "Well, I think I must be like a chimpanzee then, because I have really long arms and I am really good at the monkey bars." 

Then he thought about it for a while and said, "we can't be from monkeys, God made us."  I told him that some people believe that God did and some people believe that we evolved and no one can know for certain.  He said,"ok, Mom.  I've got it.  We came from monkeys, but God created monkeys, so everyone is right!"  Pretty deep thinker.
