"See, Mom, you didn't need to make all that applesauce, I like my apples whole too."

Apple, Pumpkin, Sweet Potato Pie

Yep, Lovebug...I do cook. Not for me or your dad, but for you. After a trip to the Farmer's Market this past weekend, I am buried in fruits and veggies. Who knew I'd love to puree baby food for you? Thank goodness you love it all. Our freezer is full of baby food cubes. Especially applesauce. I never knew how much applesauce a box of apples could make. You'll be eating the applesauce when you're old enough to read this blog! The biggest surprise hit so far is Pumpkin. I never would've thought to feed a baby pumpkin, but you sure love it. I love feeding you healthy, in season, homemade-with-love babyfood!

Apple, Pumpking,

Weekend trip to Red Lodge....Ice cream and swimming, doesn't get better than that!

You've got tooth! I discovered it yesterday while you were chewing on my finger. It's just barely broken through the gums, but it's definitely there! This explains the excessive drool and shoulder biting. Daddy says we're gonna move you to Kentucky where you can hang out with all the other folks with "tooth". I'm pretty sure a second tooth is coming soon, so we'll hold off on that big move!

Takin' A Bath

Yesterday we celebrated your Baptism. You looked like Wayne Newton in your little white suit. It was pretty warm outside and you sweated it out in the polyester getup like a champ. When the priest poured the holy water on your forehead, you were reaching for the shiny seashell the water poured from. You also thought that the Priest's robes were meant for you to grab and the Bible too. It was all over with before you even knew what all these people were standing around smiling at you for. Afterwards, we had a party at our house. You even stayed up two hours later than normal and handled that fairly well too. It was a pretty nice little day for us. Welcome to God's world, Lovebug. May you always feel blessed.

Yep, I'm potty training you. I'm not anal about, don't do it all day, everyday. But, you seem to like it and you go every time I sit you on it. And hey, it saves me from having to wash a cloth diaper! Who knows if you'll end up officially potty trained before the average age. I really don't care if you do. I'm just having fun with it. I mean, you look so stinkin' cute sitting on that little potty chair!

My Grocery Bills Are Going Up, Up, Up

You got to try cereal for the first time last night. You LOVED it! Couldn't get enough of it. You took right to the spoon and didn't spit hardly any of it out. I can tell already you're going to continue to be a big eater! I can't wait to try out all the vegetables I've been freezing for you! Of course, everyone said you'd sleep through the night once you tried cereal. That certainly wasn't true last night, but it'll come, I'm sure!

Happy 5 Months to Me!
