First Thanksgiving

Today we celebrated Katelyn's first Thanksgiving with our family. Even though Ron and I were given the green light to start Katelyn on baby food two weeks ago, I wanted to wait until today so it would be even more special. We decided after Katelyn was born that we wanted to make our own baby food. I know some of you are thinking we are crazy, but the babycook machine we bought makes it super simple. So today we made homemade sweet potato baby food.

               As you can see, Katelyn was a little skeptical about the whole situation at first.

                                             But after the first bite went in....

                  she grabbed the spoon out of my hand every time and fed herself!

    Look mom.....no hands. Yes that is the spoon hanging out of the side of her mouth.

Needless to say, I don't think we are going to have a hard time making our daughter eat her veggies.

    This was her look of, "you know mom, you were right....that was pretty darn good."

            These are a few pictures of Katelyn in her Happy Turkey Day onesie and tutu.

                                             Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Rice cereal

I am very excited about today's blog. First of all, Katelyn is now four months old. I was taken aback the other day when I saw a newborn that was Katelyn's size when she was born. I couldn't believe how much she has grown in just four quick months. It is extremely sad but so exciting at the same time watching her grow. For instance, today was the first time we fed Katelyn rice cereal.

I was surprised how well she did and she really seemed to enjoy it. Of course more was out than in, but it was a lot of fun for both of us....not so much for dad though. For those who know Ron, his OCD meter was was going off big time. After only a few bites he already had a sponge in hand and was wiping off the highchair.

            It's funny how something so simple as rice cereal can seem like such a huge milestone.

                                       Slow down Katelyn...you are growing too fast.
