yesterday i took a trip to whole foods. cookie was here and so she stayed with pratt. i LOVE LOVE LOVE whole foods! as soon as i walk in...i feel at peace. like, i want to buy everything in there. because it all seems so healthy. and so fresh.
i have been trying to use all organic fruits and vegetables for pratt. i found great apples yesterday. and we stocked up on organic, old fashioned rolled oats and bananas. i have a recipe for baby oatmeal. i think he'll love it.
i made some applesauce yesterday in my beaba cooker. laura...i take back anything negative i said about the price of it! i know it was expensive...but it was super, super easy to steam the apples in it...then turn around and puree them. and the color of the applesauce is beautiful. and it tastes really, really good.
this morning we tried bananas and rice cereal mixed with formula. he loved it! our pediatrician gave us a food chart at 4 months. it said that between 6 and 8 months, you can do cereal twice a day, and two foods. i've decided to do breakfast and dinner. i'm going to try to do a fruit in the morning and a vegetable at night. in the morning, i am using rice cereal with a tad bit of fruit...and at night, vegetable only.
clint works at a kids clinic on fridays and doesn't have to leave for work until 830. so this morning, he was able to eat breakfast with us at 7. he had to come and sit at the breakfast table with us...because if he is in the room...pratt will stare at him and smile until clint comes and sits by him. it's really sweet.
and then while i cleaned up the kitchen...this is what he and pratt did....(it's the very lonely firefly. pratt's favorite because of the blinking lights at the end). also, that is clint's baby blanket...that has now been given to pratt. thank you greatma...as you can tell...clint is having a little bit of trouble letting go :)
have wonderful weekends.

Applesauce sounds good. I made some "Michigan Applesauce" last fall with some of the apples we picked at the orchard. That was LOADS of fun and super yummy!
I love that Firefly! ;) We went through a phase where we were checking out most of the Carle books from the library...2-3 at a time! Currently, my daughter has a pile of THREE Eric Carle books sitting next to me. I promised to read them to her after she finished her "chores". Polar Bear, Polar Bear is up first!
what kind of steamer do you have? i tried making baby food with "everyday" appliances, and it did NOT work!! i could not puree anything small enough to get it smooth enough for him to tolerate the texture. i need better equipment, but have no idea what to get.
