Wow, when I signed into blogger today the words "last published June 3" was looming on my start page. I have been neglecting my blog... I guess I've had writers block for the last little bit, or maybe it is because now that Jason is a crawling machine he is burning up his fuel and has required a bottle in the middle of the night again. This makes for one very cranky mommy the next day. I have always been a person who has required a lot of sleep or I turn into the green-eyed monster. So I tried another one of my mommy tricks. We have now added another feeding of cereal with his bed time bottle and presto... we have successful slumber through the night. It really gives me instant gratification when my baby is sleeping.

In other news, I am continuing to make my own baby food with rave reviews by the little one. Thanks to my trusty recipe book "Easy Gourmet Baby Food" I've made delightful concoctions such as; roasted sweet potato puree, pureed sweet peas, oven roasted banana (yum my fav) and today it is caramelized parsnips. We'll see if JR can digest it. He did inherit daddy's weak digestive tract. I highly recommend making your own food. I know exactly how it is cooked and what is in it. Jason seems to like it too. I'm hoping exposing him to many different yummy foods I'll be rid of the pickiness that comes naturally to young children. In my case, till my mid 20s. I'm really enjoying trying new foods, but my weight-loss quest really limits the variety of food I can eat. I guess once I reach my goal I can partake in some different foods once in a while. Short term sacrifice for long term gain I guess. But I've really been craving a chocolate dipped soft serve cone from Dairy Queen lately. I wonder what's up with that? mmmm ice cream...
