Growing Up Too Fast
I’ve had a hard time writing for my blog lately. I have tons of things to write about, but I have had zero time to sit at a computer and type. C’est la vie! I do my best! The Wild Child is, occasionally, walking unaided and he is just a few days shy of 10 … Continue reading
Blueberry MESS
Making blueberry puree sounded like a good idea….. My Wild Child loves just about any fruit you put under his nose. By 8 months we had tried pears, apples, bananas, apricots, and peaches. Since apples and bananas were really hard on his poor stomach I have stopped giving him those for a while. Of course, … Continue reading

I thought it would be easier and faster to just buy a few jars of different things to see if he liked them or not. Store-bought was easier, … Continue reading

Solid Start
We started solids today! At 6 months and 16 lbs 9 oz, I figured our little man could at least have his first taste of food. Lately, he’s been watching every thing I eat or drink and even trying to reach out for it! Why wait? I decided to wait 6 months before starting solids … Continue reading
