more of May 2010

May 9 was my first mothers day! But really every day feels like mothers day to me! Dave (and Isabella) bought me a beautiful dress to wear on Sunday, which I then had to go out and buy a new pair of shoes for! :o) We spent the morning at home and the afternoon at church. They had a part of the service set apart to recognize mothers and also pass out gifts. We also went out for dinner with my mom and dad. I am one blessed mommy!!

This month we have also started vegetables for Isabella! I decided to take on the task of making her baby food not because I plan on doing the whole organic thing or have any weird issues with baby food, but because I am cheap and baby food is expensive! So I went out and bought a hand held blender, sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, green beans, and peas. After cooking, blending, and freezing, I have a good supply to start off with. I tried carrots first. Instead of eating them it was more like wearing them! I thought the carrots tasted pretty good for being pureed but she was not a fan. A few days later I tried sweet potatoes. This went much better! She didn't eat very much but at least she wasn't acting completely disgusted with them and was actually taking bites! We'll give the carrots another try soon. After she tries more of the veggies then we'll try fruits. Meal time is a very messy time! food all over her face and hands! She wants to suck her thumb after every bite and then she wants to rub her eyes or her nose. Before I know it she has sticky cereal all over her face, in her hair, up her nose, and all over her shirt. But she still manages to eat the whole bowl!

Her next milestone will be sitting on her own. She pretty much has it down but just needs us there for the occasional tip over. She also loves to talk! She talks all the time! And she even screams! It's funny and adorable now, but I just hope she doesn't scream when wants something a few years down the road! She really is a great baby and so beautiful! We have so much fun sitting and playing and listening to her talk! Life is wonderful! :o)
