Good news!!!
Nathan is gobbling up the homemade baby food. YAY! This is seriously a huge answer to prayer, you guys, because this will save us so much on our grocery bills! He was getting to the point where he was eating two of those 3.5 ounce containers for breakfast, lunch and dinner. SIX jars a day! My boy can put away food – I’m already worrying about how we’ll afford to feed this kid in ten years!!
Side note, but have you noticed how prayers change during your life? Five years ago, I would have never ever thought that I would be praying for my son to eat a pureed sweet potato. I told Jon the other day that praying has become one of the only conversation throughout the day that isn’t half baby-talk. So thankful that God listens to us always!
Anyway, I’ve been very excited about him eating homemade food now. You can ask anyone I’ve seen in the last few days and they’ll agree, mostly because I haven’t been able to stop talking about it. 🙂
We went to Costco this weekend and they had a little wagon out on display, so naturally, we had to try it out. 🙂 Doesn’t he look like such a mini man in this picture??
He LOVED the wagon. And I thought it was awesome that there are cupholders in the side of it. Too fun – I know we had a wagon when I was a little kid, but the only thing I remember pulling in it was lemonade for our lemonade stands on the driveway. 🙂
I’m sitting here on my loveseat while Nathan is napping and I just looked up and saw this:
Oy. Again something that five years ago I would have never imagined my floors to look like. I’m a pretty neat person all-in-all, so sometimes this mess gets to me (it looks worse in person than it does in this picture, just so you know). Just noticed I’ve got one slipper on one side of the room and one on the other.
It was a crazy morning learning the fundamentals of crawling. 🙂
Has anyone been watching American Idol this season? I’ve got my bets on Lauren, but I thought Pia did a great job this last week too. Crazy how many people got cut last week, though!! Who is your favorite?
Hey Erynn! I thought of a tip while reading this, I learned it from watching my cousins baby who is maybe 6 months older that Nathan. When he gets to where he'll be eating fruit in little pieces and picking them up with his hands, sometimes that gets hard because it's slippery & he's just learning to grip things, mix the fruit in crumbled up graham cracker. It'll make it easier from them to stay in his hand!
Thank you Erynn. I now have that song stuck in my head…. apples and baneenees….. 😉
Oh my goodness I remember when I used to watch Barney!! lol. Oh, and about American Idol, I have my bets on Lauren too…although I also like Scotty, Lauren's my favorite.
I eat an apple and banana everyday too! I have been changing my life and eating habits to be healthier. My aunt made baby food for my cousin and froze in ice cube trays then defrosted it when she needed it. Rebecca seemed to like it. I have been watching Idol but the only one I remember right now is Scotty and country music is not my favorite. lol 🙂
So glad little Nater likes home made baby food. Ella Rae really liked it as well, but it was hard to pass up the convenience of the jar food. I love AI too! Lauren is def one of my favorites, but Scotty is my lead man this season!
My favorite is Stephano. I also love Pia too.
Are you going to write your's and Jon's engagement story?(:
I'm rooting for Lauren too! And yay for baby food 🙂 He's growing so fast. Audrey has that exact same wagon in red and loves it!
That's great that Nate enjoys the homemade food. It's crazy how much jarred baby food costs. Nate looks like a cute toddler in the wagon…aw!
I don't know what other states have, but people in PA have WIC here. They can get 32 stage 2 fruit and vegetables jars of baby food a month. Course they occasionally try to sneak in non-fruit and vegetable jars, but that's a different website.
I have a few idol favorites. I think its James (my mom and I call him Adam Lambert Jr ) is really good. Course Pia and Lauren are too. Naima just needs to pick better songs. Oh yeah that one guy… Jacob is good as well. There's too many good people this year! (LOL).
