Big Boy Food!!

So...Chase has taken his next "step" in his journey to being a big boy.
He's moved from eating just formula, to having "solids."

Apparently, he HATES rice cereal, but we've discovered that he actually enjoys the oatmeal cereal, so he'll eat that. For his first food, he chose Squash...I gave him the choice between that and peas, he grabbed the squash. He had no problems with it and keeping with the tradition we gave him a week before another new food. Next he chose peas...yuck!! This time, I gave him the choice between peas and carrots, he grabbed the green. He dug those too, no crazy faces or anything, he just dug right in!!

Today, I decided that I'd add some fruit to his group, so I gave him the choice between bananas and peaches, he took the peaches. He didn't like them. He made the funniest faces and just kept spitting them out. Obviously, we'll keep trying, they say you should try 7-8 times before you give up on a food. We'll keep trying I guess. I really want him to have a palete like his dads, because I'm SUPER picky.

So...to date, he's tried the rice cereal, the oatmeal, squash, peas, sweet potatoes, bananas, peaches, prunes and applesauce. Of the first foods, he still needs to try the carrots, green beans and pears. He's getting the hang of it and is trying to grab the spoon and feed himself. It's the best watching him learn so many new things.

I can't believe time goes by so fast!! I swear yesterday I was trying to get him to latch on and then introducing him to his bottle and now I'm introducing real foods. I'm interested to see what type of eater he becomes, but I'm really hoping he's not picky like me.

So I hopped on the bandwagon!

So, I decided to follow suit with the other mommies that I know and write a blog!

I'm excited, I'm not gonna lie.

I really want to go back and blog about stuff that already happened, but that would be lame.

I'm a mommy, to a beautiful baby boy, Chase Taylor and also a new wife. I'm so blessed to have a wonderful family and that we're planning on living our dreams and making all of Chase's dreams come true too. In a few years we're planning on making an addition to our family, but that is definitely in the future.

Just to get anyone who doesn't know my life up to speed, here's a quick briefing!

Chase was born on June 25, 2008 at 10:44 pm. He weighed 8 pounds 2 ounces and was 22 inches long. My labor was only 6 hours and no, I had no drugs, I did it au-natural! Chuck and I finally got married on November 8, 2008 at Chapel in the Wildwood after 8 1/2 years of "dating." These are the two best days of my life...

I work at Red Robin as a bartender and a server.

I'm also a substitute teacher for Etiwanda School District.

I'm going back to school next year to get my credential and masters.

Yeah, that's all for now. I will post some wedding pictures soon.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THANKSGIVING!!!
