Elliot is 8 Months Old!

Ok, almost caught up :).

Elliot has learned so many new things over the past few months! It really is crazy how quickly they grow in that first year. He has become a pro at eating off the spoon. I've been making his foods like I did with Isaac, and so far the only one he dislikes is bananas. Seriously...what baby doesn't like bananas? haha. His favorite so far are peas, sweet potatoes, and peaches.

He also got his first tooth. I forgot how adorable they look with the start of one little bottom tooth ♥
Within the past month, Elliot has also started creeping. He pushes himself with his feet. He also gets up on his knees and pumps back and forth. haha. He'll figure it out soon enough. My baby boy is getting so big! 

Thanksgiving 2011

Whew! Sorry I've been absent...work has been so busy! We have a new dietitian starting next week though so that'll definitely help :) This year we had a great Thanksgiving! It was the first time in years that we were able to spend the holiday with both my dad and my mom! In fact, we went to Lafayette to Tat and Omi's. It was a beautiful day so we ate outside with some beautiful decorations.

This year I am thankful for so much. First, my family-Andrew, Isaac, and Molly who keep me smiling each day. I'm also thankful for my family and well as Andrew's for being so supportive and helpful. I'm thankful for my new job and for Andrew's school as well. I am so blessed.

Yuck!

So far Isaac eats everything I give him without any complains until now...last night I gave him broccoli and he was gagging. Ok it's not really funny, but it kind of is. Check it out. Guess we'll have to try that one later.

5 a day!

So we started Isaac on carrots the other day. He seemed to like them =). I was able to make them using my Babycook and that was really fun. I'm going to try to make all his baby food...but we'll see how it goes. We'll continue to add more veggies into his diet and then we'll start fruits.

Cereal time!!

So we started Isaac on cereal the other day. It took him a minute to figure out the texture, but towards the end he was opening his mouth for more. He'll be eating cereal twice a day now while still drinking his breastmilk. We'll do this for a couple of weeks, then we'll start on vegetables. I can't wait to use my BabyCook to make his baby food =)

Craving of the week...

Ok I'm over the cabbage and vinegar.

New cravings:

-Lucky Charms

-CHOCOLATE

-Bananas with condensed milk poured on top

-Coke (yeah, I said it. With caffeine. *rolls eyes*)

I am loving food right now. My weight is still fine. In fact, I've only gained about a pound since I went home. However, I am hungry. All the time...ah, the life of a pregnant woman! =)

Craving of the week

Ok, so I had some cravings in the first trimester...nothing very crazy but here's a rundown:

-strawberry milk (I went a week drinking about 3 glasses a day)

-pizza products (Once I went to the grocery without Andrew and came home with pizza rolls, a Digorno pizza, pizza lean pockets, and bagel bites...Andrew flipped out. HAHA)

-pickles...leading to pickle juice (Andrew came home and I had a straw in the jar. I'm serious.)

-guacamole

And now, it's raw cabbage and vinegar. And a sprinkle of black pepper on top. It's yum. You should try it. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that I probably ate a half of a cabbage yesterday. HAHA.
