Week 27

The weeks are starting to blur again. Just when you get settled in a routine, you forget what you did each day. Routines are a blessing and a curse. Thank god for my iPhone and the pictures I take. I started him on food last week. He gets a vegetable with each meal and he eats 2x a day for now. I made sweet potatoes the first week and then just this past weekend I made butternut squash and peas. Peas were super hard to make and I used a strainer to get the skins off. I used my every day blender. I wonder if it would puree them super find with the Vita mix. I bet it will. I think I’ll use that next time I make his food. That being said, I think we are good for the next couple of weeks.

I did a lot of research about containers and in the end I settled for ice cube trays. I read online that each cube is about 1oz. I also purchased some veggies (peas and carrots) from the grocery store. So I’m going to reuse those glass containers to store his food that I make at home. Very cost efficient and I know I can heat the cubes in the glass jar.

He has some small breakouts on his body, mainly chest. It looked liked what he had when he was a month old. It is not that extreme but still concerning. Almost like eczema. I hope he’s not allergic to anything I have given him. I got too excited and gave him all three vegetables in the last week.  I really should have done one veggie for a couple of days at a time. Oh well. I’m sure he’ll be fine. His body is just saying, “Woah”.

Here he is on his 6 month birthday

He started playing on this play gym last week and he absolutely loves it.

Oh, his bronchitis is gone.

Oh, and he is started to talk a lot more. Like one day I picked him up from daycare and the whole ride home he wouldn’t shut up. Just talk talk talk. It’s really cute. He was telling me what he did at school that day.
