Baby Food
This is my first attempt at making homemade baby food. People make it sound so difficult, but basically all you do is cook it and blend it up! Hopefully, I will get more creative as Avalon's tastes expand. :) I found this website that has a lot of good ideas. www.wholesomebabyfood.com

LONG time!
I haven't posted anything in a long time...I guess life got really busy after having a baby!
I am FINALLY getting into somewhat of a routine, being a stay-at-home mom, now. It is definitely different, but I am starting to like it. I like having time to keep my house clean, and do some of the things that I LIKE to do, like bake and cook.
Our daughter is now 5 1/2 months. I can't believe how she is growing. I am enjoying seeing all of the things that she can do as she develops. It is nice now that she can play somewhat on her own, and she doesn't cry every time I leave the room. :) She likes to yell and hear herself "talk", and we just laugh. Actually, Den will yell back and they have a "conversation" with each other yelling.
We started her on rice cereal when she was 4 months, but her tummy didn't cooperate so well. Since then, she has been dying to get her mouth on some real food, so I tried the cereal again with her a couple days ago. She LOVES to eat off of a spoon, and hasn't seemed to have any problems this time.
She has been sleeping through the night for about a month now. (Not waking to eat) Sometimes, she will wake in the early morning hours for no obvious reason, and I cover her back up and she usually will go back to sleep within 5 minutes or so. I am really thankful that I can get a full-night's sleep now without too many problems (unless I wake up for no obvious reason, and can't go back to sleep!).
I am so thankful that the Lord has entrusted her to us. When she is fussy, I have to remind myself of that!
I don't know how faithful I will be at keeping up on this blog, so we'll see...
She hasn't quite figured out how to jump in this, but she likes to spin around. :)

It has been a very busy 2 weeks, but I am going to try to be better about posting more and putting more pictures up.
