Real Fruit Teether

This is after several minutes chowing down on the teether.  It has a banana inside.  (FYI:  Banana is a pain to get out of the mesh afterwards).

Yes, I'm entirely proud of my 5 month old's fine motor skills.  He's becoming quite adept at taking things out of his mouth and putting them back in.  He's been practicing with his pacifier.  This teether is new as of this afternoon (It was one of his Christmas gifts from Grammy & PopPop).  He seems to like both sides.  ;)

More pictures tomorrow!

Simply Saturday

It was a busy day today with plenty of things accomplished.

Pictures of Benjamin from the 15th.

One of today's accomplishments.  

Oh yes, ladies and gentlemen, that is homemade baby food -- sweet potato and carrots.  It is awaiting the plastic freezer containers that are going to be given to Benjamin tomorrow by Grammy & PopPop.  Don't worry.  He has some fun gifts coming too.  ;)

Fabulous Friday

5 months today!

A few pictures from the past month.  Hopefully a better post to update once I'm off on break later this week.

Most notable achievement:  Yesterday he started saying, "Da Da."  

Or more like...Dadadadadadadadada.  lol ;)

Baby's 1st Thanksgiving

Benjamin with Great Papaw Holder

With both Papaws & Christianna

Frying the turkey

Our spread...Including special dairy-free mashed potatoes, turkey, & stuffing for me plus dairy-free "butter" in all of the veggies

Spending time together.  It was also our 4th wedding anniversary on Thanksgiving.

Benjamin eating his own Thanksgiving food.  Cereal & breastmilk.  Mmmmm.

Ahem...Do not put a Bumbo on an elevated surface and walk away.  I know not to, but apparently some people in this world ignored the warning on the seat, and then complained when their child was injured which caused a recall of these great seats.  They are now labeled as "floor seats", btw.  

Picture time!  (See our new king size quilt & shams)

I hope everyone had a great day with plenty to be thankful for this year.
