Solid Foods...what a fun new mess!

So we recently started our Hailey Bug on solids and its been a really fun time. I was so excited when we left the doctors office to go and buy her some new food and new bowls and some of those great rubber tipped spoons. A word of advice to those new moms out there who might not have a clue (like me!) Baby food is meant to be heated and most babies don't like it cold! I had no idea until my mom pointed out to me that it is supposed to be heated up. My response "It's apples, who eats warm apples?" Well duh babies do! So now we know. She seemed to like the food once we weren't giving it to her cold! Live and learn. But we've been having a blast feeding her and learning her new tastes for what she likes. Pears good, prunes not so good. I'll have to make a note of that. Next step, make our own food...we'll see how that goes!

Its the little things in life!

So it's been a few weeks since my last post and a lot has happened. First I want to say YAY! for completing the March for Babies 5k. It was cold and rainy but we pushed through and felt a great sense of accomplishment. Plus we helped a great cause. March of Dimes is an organization that does great things.

Yesterday was the dreaded 4 mo checkup, and of course more shots! I was really proud of my Hailey Bug she barely cried. On the awesome milestone side we began solid foods. I know its a bit early but with the diaper or lack of dirty diapers that we've had the doc thought some solid foods might help. I was so excited to go into the store and get to pick out new spoons and baby food for the first time.

I'm what you would call a little things in life kind of person. I love the tiny little things in life that many people overlook. Going to buy little spoons with rubber tips was just one of those little things I love! It totally made my day. Don't get me wrong the big things rock of course but its the little things that keep me sane and happy. So try to always find pleasure in the little things its what keeps us happy in between all the big things!
