Making Baby Food
Hello again!Rainey stopped breastfeeding a couple of weeks ago. More her choice than mine as I was hoping that we would make it at least a year. Oh well, she is done with it, so I must deal with that. She is still having about 32 oz of formula a day and she eats solid food three times a day. (When I say she eats solid food, I mean we try to feed it to her and she mostly refuses to eat it). I am making my own baby food. It is very simple! I just use a steamer (thanks Auntie Ali) and my generic Magic Bullet food processor. When it is mixed, we pour it in the ice cube tray for perfeect 1 oz portions that last all week! http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/ or the book Super Baby Food are great references if you want to tackle this as well.
March Picture Madness

First Weeks of March
Rainey is doing GREAT!!!! She is changing every day. People keep commenting that she looks like she has an adult face on a baby body. Her face is definitely changing to that of a little girl instead of a baby. She is also making strides in physical and social development as well. She smiles when you smile and laughs when you laugh. She is also learning sharing: she will put something in her mouth and then in my mouth and then back in hers, etc. Its so cool that she understands that!!! She hasn't said, "mama" yet but she is putting so many sounds and syllables together. Its so fun to watch and hear her. As you may have noticed in some of the pictures, she is most certainly pulling herself up and trying to walk. When we hold her hands she tries to let go and walk on her own even though she can't yet! She still only army crawls, though. I have heard that they are supposed to master crawling before they walk but I would wager that isn't going to happen. We hope you are all doing well! Life is great.
My future's so bright, I gotta wear shades...
March 1, 2009Happy 8 month birthday to me!
I said "baba" for the first time today and I know that means, "bottle." I am so smart. I am working on "mama," but just can't seem to get it out. I also can do a mean army crawl. I can army crawl about 12 feet in about a minute or 2: a slow and steady pace!
