Food and Fun

So, our baby girl is a week and a half old, and she is already eating solid foods. Wow! Ok, so maybe it's just that she's only been home a week and a half, but it is a new experience for us to start right into the baby food phase with a "new" baby. Grace focuses on our every move while eat, and she spent a good part of the last couple dinners gnawing on a french fry or piece of bread. We decided to smash up a banana and see what she would do with it. She ate it like a pro! Since we make our own baby food at our house (the smell and appearance of the stuff in the jars just makes my stomach turn), we better get our act together. It's time to dig out the food processor and stock up on ice cube trays to freeze the food in baby size portions. Our baby is growing up WAY too fast!

Grandma Carroll and Grandpa John sent Grace a very cool new toy. It is an exer-saucer with about as many gadgets as could possibly fit around it. It rattles, beeps, has flashing lights, things to swat at, a bouncing seat and even its own computer. This thing should be fun for hours! It will be even better when her feet reach the floor!!

When you're a 3 1/2 year old boy, and your baby sister gets a new toy that comes in a REALLY BIG box, what should you do?

Play with the box of course!!
