Strike One
So far, babyfood making has been a real hit and something I really enjoy doing. Of course, there are several types of foods we buy premade. I've been successful up to this point with bananas, sweet potatoes (G's 2 faves), peaches, apples, and peas. Tonight we ventured to the world of avocados, one of my favorite foods! Well, not so much for G. This was our first strike in the world of solids. It was quite comical watching the expressions on his face while eating the avocado, which I made by simply mashing with a fork into a puree. Needless to say he was not a big fan, BUT he made me proud by continuing to eat almost the entire bowl. About 3/4 the way through half an avocado, he had enough and let me know by refusing to have another bite. I had read on www.wholesomebabyfood.com that bananas and avocados are a good combo, so I took a piece of banana, mashed that up with a fork and added it to the rest of avocado. Now that was a HIT!! And he would have gladly eaten more, but we had already used the rest of the avocado to make some homemade guacamole....yum....

Just Like Old Times
I woke up this morning and remembered one very important thing - I'm not in my 20's anymore. OK, I seriously think I only had 4 glasses of wine last night (oops, I guess that is a whole bottle isn't it?!?!), which a few years ago would have been no big thang. But this morning - uggghhh. It took me up until now, 11:30 AM to shake the wine induced headache and nausea. Thanks be to toast and Ibuprofen. And for a fabulous baby who is onto his second nap of the day. Halelujah!! But seriously, when did i get old and feel hungover after a few glasses of wine? Oh that's right, I haven't really drank in well over a year. I like A glass of wine at night, but that's about it. And now I remember why. Because I'm not 20 anymore! I think I'll stick with my 1-2 glasses from now on!
We had a great time at Bunko last night, which i spent all afternoon preparing the house and all the food. But overall I think the food was a hit. We all got to talking, eating, and drinking and before we knew it it was 10 PM so we never even played bunko! It was still fun nonetheless. The bunko group is a great group of gals, I'm so glad to have met them all. Some of my mom's dearest friends are from her years of playing bunko, I hope I'm as fortunate as her to hold onto some of these friendships. Friendship can be an odd thing as I've come to discover. I have friends from all walks of my life - childhood, college and adult. I've maintained some of them, but not as many as I'd like. And some I've come to find out are not true friendships afterall. But I do feel blessed to have the great people that I have in my life right not. On that note, I'm going to make it my daily goal to connect with at least one of those great friends today. Especially now that I've recovered from my hangover :)

Another motive behind this blog is to share great GIVEAWAYS!! I love contests and giveaways, and I'm sure others do too! Like this one, from one of my fave sites - http://adventuresinbabyfood.com/?p=310 They are teaming up with Yummy Yummy in my Tummy and giving away 24 servings of ORGANIC baby food! I hope I hope I win!!
Day One
Hello! I'm creating this blog as a way to share my adventures of my newfound life. I have an 8 month old baby boy, G, who I absolutely adore. Before him, my babies were my 2 dogs - Bub and Boges. Well, they are still my babies, but I have admittedly become "that mom". I'm not sure if there's anyway around it, but yes, G is the new focus of my attention. The dogs still get plenty of love though! Oh, and I guess I should mention that I also have a husband, C!! We've had our share of ups and downs, life truly has been an adventure!
The past 8 months have gone by WAY too quickly! I hope to use this blog to record my thoughts and feelings of parenthood, marriage, and just life in general. I have a journal but don't take the time to write in it. I'm thinking typing may get the job done a little better! My monkey is doing new things every day, and while I'm not sure if I'm going to add pics to this blog or keep it unanimous, I do promise to write all the new and exciting things he does. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I know I'll enjoy sharing!
