I made a big decision today…I am going to attempt making my own baby food with Amelia. I’m a little nervous about it. I thought about doing it with Olivia, but was concerned about the time commitment, and didn’t think I would stick with it. I’ve decided to go for it this time. I saw an infomercial for the “Baby Bullet” (spawn of The Magic Bullet), and fell in love with it. It looks super easy. They were running a “Buy One Get One Free” special, so I talked a woman I work with into going in on it with me, so I got it for a little cheaper. My Bullet isn’t going to be here until next week, but we’re starting her on solids this upcoming weekend. It should be Ok though…we’re starting her on Avocado’s, which we’ll just feed right from the peel, for the first 3 days. Then, I’m just going to have to use our home blender to make her next food, sweet potatoes. Then, the Bullet should be here in time for the next food introduction. I’m really excited to try this out. It should end up saving us quite a bit of money in the long run, and I’m thinking I’ll be able to make a few batches of food on the weekends, and freeze most of it for future use, so the time aspect shouldn’t be an issue at all. And, most importantly, I’ll always know what she’s eating. No preservatives, no extras…just fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables. Man, I can’t wait!
I feel like I’m becoming “crunchier and crunchier” as time goes on. Next thing you know, I’ll be cloth diapering our “next” child (and to be honest, I’ve already started researching the world of cloth diapering…so you really never know! LOL)!
Other than that excitement (which really isn’t exciting to anybody else in the world), today was just a normal day. Busy bees at work, workout video when I got home, dinner with my loves and a little play time. Olivia has been doing great with Amelia, and I am beyond thankful for that. Amelia has been happy and cheery and so fun lately, which I am also beyond thankful for! Life is good…now, if only that good life came with some sleep, we’d be on could nine!
As you can see from this picture, Olivia was not really feeling Monday either…
