Adventures in Baby Food

It's hard to believe that it is already time to start giving food to Evelyn. She has been doing so well eating rice cereal, so I went to Bed Bath and Beyond and bought the bullet...the Baby Bullet! I really wanted to make my own baby food for Evelyn for many reasons - less packaging waste, no preservatives and fillers, I can make it from organic items, it's always fresh, and for the cost savings! At first, I was a little overwhelmed, but it turns out to be such a quick and easy thing to do.

The first food I made for her were bananas. And she loves them. So now I've moved on to apples. She loves those too! Up next, sweet potatoes and then squash. 

She's still learning that she must open her mouth and not stick out her tongue, and she's getting better and better every day. She even begs for more bites when I'm not fast enough!

In other things, she is getting more and more mobile. She rolls all over the place and is able to scoot herself to where she wants to go. She even sneaks up on our golden retriever and grabs her ears and hair. 

And she has started to do this...

No, not crawling, but she's getting ready! She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth. Soon I think she'll figure it out and then I will really be busy!

Those two little bottom teeth finally broke through the other day. I can feel just the tops. She's done really well with teething - a few fussy moments, but it's never been bad enough to medicate. She just drools...and drools...and drools. And chews on everything. :) 

I'll leave you with a great verse from Romans, which was given to me yesterday and today, by two separate sources. I love it when God speaks, confirms, and moves like that!

What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He did not even spare His own Son, but offered Him up for us all; how will He not also with Him graciously give us everything?
