So, I got a little ambitious and decided to make Reed's baby food. Several of my friends have done it so I thought I'd give it a try. My biggest obstacle was the time and the mess involved. So I got the Beaba babycook and it couldn't be any easier. Just steam the food and then puree it all in the same machine. The food is really good! It's bright and colorful and is yummy too. But, Reed definitely was not a fan of peas. He could have cared less about their bright green color. He just wanted them out of his mouth!
So after almost 6 months of only nursing, we decided it was time for Reed to try some solids. We had to get a new high chair-the print is a little obnoxious, but it says it's easy to clean so I got it. We tried rice cereal first but Reed thought it was nasty, so we tried some oatmeal. That went over much better. He's growing up WAY too fast!
My very best friend from high school/college, Dana, and her family came through Memphis last week on their way to Mississippi for her sister's wedding. We met at the zoo and enjoyed the beautiful day. She gave me the best possible news-after living in the land of the Yankees for several years, they are headed back to the South. They'll be moving to Murfreesboro in May! An easy drive from Memphis. Hope Stephen is ready for lots of road trips!
Darbie, Ella, Kate, Tucker, and Jack. What a crew!
A pediatric oncology nurse in a previous life, I am now a stay at home mommy. Stephen and I have been married for 8 wonderful years and have 4 beautiful children. Jack is 7, Kate and Ella are 5, and Reed is 2. They keep me busy but I love it. I love living in the South, sweet tea, front porch swings, purses, shopping for my kids, magazines, traveling, Ole Miss football, the beach and I'll monogram anything that doesn't fight back. This is our attempt to journal our children's lives since, Lord knows, I don't have time to keep up with a baby book.
