Going Bananas!

It was probably appropriate that my first food besides boring ol rice cereal was bananas! Today we tried Gerber organic first stage bananas. Of course I didn’t know that’s what it was – only that they took a little getting used to. What is it that everyone says? its an acquired taste. I am sure…

Video:: Oh, the joy of eating!

Well I read somewhere that most parents are armed and ready with their video cameras at their child’s first attempt at eating. Honestly, I don’t know how they do it. It has taken us at least three weeks to get to the point where we didn’t have one hand on the spoon, another on the…

Always a “phase”

Cailee is going through a phase. I think that’s what you call it whenever she disagrees with whatever the perceived behavior should be at any given time. So if she cries a lot it might be the “teething” phase or “gassy” phase or “doesn’t have a regular sleep pattern” phase or “hates her carseat” phase,…

Won’t stay this clean for long

I had to take this opportunity to capture some shots of Cailee in her big girl high chair – but as you can tell by the amount of toys on the tray – we are not actually eating out of it yet – instead its a good place for Cailee to see and watch us…
