So Much to Do, So Little Time


We have had so many visitors and weekends away from home in the last month, the house has started to feel neglected. So, as the master of making lists, we had a long one this weekend. Somehow, the majority of the list still seemed to be all things Holden. Holden has outgrown all of his 3 month outfits and the dresser was a mess of clothes that didn't fit and clothes that did. So I got all of his too small outfits packed away, and we have already filled 2 large tupperware of baby clothes, diapers and gear and he is only 5 months old! We also had a marathon of baby food making on Saturday. Holden is going to have a smorgasbord of scrumptious fruits and veggies to try in the next month and beyond. We cooked and pureed the following goodies and froze them in either baby cubes or ice cube trays for individual servings:


  1. Acorn Squash
  2. Butternut Squash
  3. Sweet Potato
  4. Carrots
  5. Avocado
  6. Peaches
  7. Banana

We still have some papaya and nectarines that are ripening. It isn't that hard of a project either you basically let the food processor do all of the work. I think we will be able to have him on homemade food for the majority of his meals and just jarred food when we are out and about, which is great.

We did manage to fit some play time into our weekend. Holden hosted a play date and I got a chance to catch up with the other moms. Its been awhile since we have all gotten together so it was nice to catch up. Two of Holden's friends have gotten their bottom 2 teeth already, and he got to hang out with his buddy Cameron before she went on vacation for 2 weeks.

We will be headed on our second camping trip for the summer next weekend so hopefully I remember to take pictures since I didn't get any from the beach trip last weekend.
