Catching Up

Okay I seriously need to blog more often.

Today Caden is 7 months old!

I have had a lot going on lately, and I know I have a lot more "stuff" coming my way in the next couple of months. Busy busy busy!

On Tuesday Nate, Caden and I returned from South Dakota where we attended Nate's sister Bethany's wedding. We also saw Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, a boat load of buffalo, a really pretty lake complete with rocks and caves, and the hole in the rock from the movie National Treasure. Caden did extremely well considering everything going on and all the new faces. Flying was not his or I's highlight of the week, but we survived! We saw the actor Eric Close (from Without a Trace) on the return flight, and I was so starstruck in was embarrassing! LOL.

It was really cool to meet Donna's (Nate's Mom's) husband Victor, and two of his sons. I really had fun with Sam and Malcolm, they are awesome awesome guys! Sooo funny too. Donna and I were were pretty much the only girls staying in our guesthouse...with 7 boys!

Now that we are back home, my focus has been mainly getting Caden used to a sippy cup, and trying new types of foods.

So far Caden has had (in no particular order):

Prunes
Peas

Squash

Sweet Potatoes

Bananas

Raspberries

Apples

Pears

Guavas

Mangoes

Blueberries

Oatmeal

Peaches

Pumpkins

Green Beans

Plums.

Next will be...

Carrots
Potatoes

Spinach

Lentils

Rice

Zucchini

Barley

Corn

Melon

Broccoli

Brussels Sprouts

Avocado...just to name a few. I may wait on melon and avocado for a little longer as Nate is allergic to them.

After that he will try stage 3 (chunkier) foods, and perhaps chicken and turkey after 8 months.

I am still on the fence about red meat.

Well that's all for now! Hopefully I will blog MUCH more often LOL (I know, I know...I say that a lot).
