We are ready for spring!

Trey is doing amazingly well and I am so ready to break out of the house and FINALLY share the world with him. Due to the RSV and flu season we (like many other preemie mommies) have been on lock down. Spring is just around the bend and now that the little man is mobile I can't wait to start trolling the parks and what-not. Oh Yeah! he is mobile! army crawling his way around the house. He is saying mama and baba...dada doesn't seem to be an easy one for him.

Food: I am making Trey's baby food and to be honest I thought that it would be hard but it isn't actually, I find it pretty easy and OMG so much cheaper then store bought food. Money was my first reason for wanting to make his food and nutrition was second. I can't believe that Gerber is poisoning my baby or anyone else's child but some people think 'crazy' things like that...oh well, to each their own. But he loves squash of any kind, peas, carrots, bananas, apples and pears. I have an avocado and we will see about that but I have high hopes. To be honest, this kid will eat ANYTHING! Even if he makes a "ewww" face he will still eat what ever it is till it is gone.

I use the website www.wholesomebabyfood.com. It has so much info on baby food, how to make it and even family friendly menus with foods for everyone. I refuse to make separate meals for everyone in the future. I also have a book by Jessica Seinfeld called "deceptively delicious". I got it at first for Chris and I. The book basically is a way to sneak good foods into other foods to add nutrition to what you eat. For example, I hate zucchini but she has a ton of recipes that you add a puree of zucchini to the recipe and you can't taste it but you get the good nutrition of that particular food. More on that later.
