Layla has been a grump all day! I have a suspicion it's because she's teething. This may throw off our attempts at a normal schedule. She was not to keen on napping or eating today. Ugh!
Speaking of eating, we introduced Layla to real food for the first time today. Since her 4 month appointment we've been sporadically feeding her rice cereal. Today we tried carrots! We're all about making our own baby food, so Jeremy went out and bought some organic carrots. We steamed them then blended them up in our Magic Bullet with a bit of water. She didn't mind them at all!! She took them better than she was milk from a bottle (which is another thing we've got to get down these next 2 weeks). I think tomorrow we'll add milk to the carrots instead of water.
We had fun!
I'm also putting myself on a schedule. I'm getting up at 6:45 each morning this week and 5:30 next week. This is a big change from being off work for 5 months and waking up whenever I wanted!!
I'm going to swim practice as much as possible these next 2 weeks, too, since I'll only be going twice a week (max) once school starts. I'm sure I'll be extremely sore...but I have to muscle through it!

Hey ! That is awesome about the carrots. We are noticing that Caden is having a lot of gas these days, so I think we are going to cut back on his food consumption until we figure out what the problem is. We'll just give him his formula.
Hey on making your own baby food... I've heard people do that and then they put it in ice cub trays and freeze it that way it is ready in small portions. Also if you keep any baby jars you can just get an icecub (carrot cube) and put it in the jar to thaw and be ready to eat. Just an idea!
Good luck with your endeavors!
I love to swim also. I hope to get back into working out. It is just so hard to give up that time, but I too know it is worth it.
hey, I read somewhere that parents shouldn't make carrot baby food and a few others due to nitrates. Something you might want to check out or I'm sure you have?
I found a good website for making baby food if you don't already have it...it is www.wholesomebabyfood.com
