Life with a boy is busy!


I never know what he is going to do.


Today, he plopped his face in the cat's water bowl.

Benny is strange

Did anyone else find it a freaking incredible ending?

Last Night


DAMN!

from parenting_101 when it was deleted.

It was about kids and dinner time and if they are allowed not to finish everything or refuse a food simply because they don't like (once they have tried it a few times to make sure). Both the hubs and I can be really picky (me more so than hubs) and so I expect Benny will be the same. So far in his young life he has had rice cereal, sweet potatoes, green beans, and bananas. Green beans were a no go. I tried them twice and he refused to eat them and got a diaper rash. I think I am going to give him some peas tonight. I hate them, hubs loves them, so we shall see.

But what do you parents do about this mealtime stuff? Do your kids have to eat whatever you put on their plate, even if they aren't hungry or truly hate the food? Do you have an issue with making different things for different members of the family? I do this sometimes because I love certain vegetables or an alfredo sauce and Will hates asparagus or alfredo. So if I get a craving, I make pasta but heat two different sauces and make asparagus and another green vegetable.

He ate cereal tonight.

I fed him about 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons.

My baby is growing up. How on earth do I deal with this. I love my baby being a baby. Soon, he can sit up, crawl, and ask for another bottle!

I have the trump card this year. Everyone has to come to me for Christmas!

A co-worker lost everything in housefire. The generosity of the community and the surrounding areas in unreal. A local company offered to help pay for the framing of a new house. A local electrician and plumbing company offered to do it for free. A collection has raised more than 10k for her. I love the generosity of people.

Baby gets to start cereal this week. He eats almost 40 oz of formula a day, so we are introducing cereal on Monday.

I hope all of you have a great Christmas

It is actually a pretty cool phone. I have never actually paid for a phone before, so this rocks.

He weighs 11 lbs and 4 ounces and is 22.5 inches long

Doctor comments on how alert and chatty he is.

Healthy boy and team formula is giving the weight gain!
