Do you see where my husband is... in front of the TV watching basketball. I know why they call it March Madness! I am going to go MAD if it is not over soon. Really, it has not been that bad but I HATE basketball. If it was football I would not mind at all!
When Anderson wakes up so happy after his naps. He just lays in his bed and sucks on his fingers until we arrive to rescue him. He is so cute! Today he was on ALL FOURS when TJ went and got him!! He has been doing this a lot lately! He is so strong! As far as the nights go he has gone three nights now with NO FEEDINGS!!! So he is nursing 5 times during the day and eats 1 tablespoon or so of solids for lunch and dinner.
We have a WINNER- SWEET POTATOES!!!
Finally Anderson is enjoying solids. This week he began eating sweet potatoes with rice cereal mixed with it and he loves it. He also tried banana's with rice cereal tonight and loved it too.
His finger slipped into his nose while he was sucking his fingers and it was too funny to pass up taking a pic.
I ordered these from OneStepAhead.com (a favorite website of mine for random baby stuff). I make my baby food because it is SO much cheeper than buying Gerber packs of baby food. Today I cooked three medium sized sweet potatoes for the cost of $4.50 and got about 68 oz. of baby food. You can get a pack of Gerber Organic baby food which is only 5 oz. for $1.50! That's just CRAZY!!! (I prefer to throw my money away at Pottery Barn or PBK!) Anyway, I made Karoline's baby food too but I didn't have these. I just used ice cube trays, which is great, but these are so easy to grab, go in the microwave, and the dishwasher. They are also very easy for traveling or grabbing because you are going out to eat. Anyway, I just wanted to share my great find.
I know, you are probably thinking I am a mean mom but he was smiling I promise and then he started crying! But every child needs a picture of them crying right!? He stopped crying pretty much right away so GiGi and Gammy don't worry!
Karoline has had a fun week. Baby Shasta came over and her parent, Shane and Jessica, brought us lasagna (TJ loves Jessica's lasagna). Also I don't really have a picture to go with this but she is asking "What's that?" about every other second. I know this is normal but if you are a parent who has been through this phase you know it can get old fast. Generally now I say "I don't know. What is that?" and then she will tell ME what it is... so I know she knows what things are, it is just her game.
Huggums is becoming more and more a part of every minute of our lives! :) Karoline LOVES to feed her, put her to sleep, push her in the swing outside (I think we bought a $400 swing set for Huggums- a DOLL), give her a bottle, etc. If Huggums is lost we TJ and I have to drop everything and find her ASAP!
Karoline LOVES it when I bring Anderson into her room to wake her up from her nap. She gets so excited and they were so cute today so I ran and got my camera. I LOVE how they are interacting with each other these days.
Anderson has really enjoyed his excersaucer. Also, you can see in these pictures that he LOVES to have his hands in his mouth or suck on his wrist! It is so funny to me because Karoline was never like this. I am afraid he is going to be one of those kids that puts EVERYTHING in his mouth!
Enjoy your weekends... we are getting ready for Gammy's arrival on Tuesday!!! Yeah!!! We can't wait for her to be here! Also I get to get out and go to a scrapbook party with my friends which should be fun. Love to alll...

So many great pictures! How fun that your mom (your mom is Gammy, right?) is coming to visit again. Elise does the SAME thing with asking "what's that?" and she totally knows what it is too so I make her tell me like you do with Karoline. It's fun to see their little minds take in the world around them, but it does drive the parents a bit crazy! :)
You know, Ella is a big thumb girl, but since she has her thumb, she doesn't put a lot of stuff in her mouth, so maybe Anderson will be that way too.
i'll have to check into those little jars for homeade babyfood..i'm hoping to make Lydia's food as I did Drew's...I agree- it's so much more fun to spend the money in other places! I love seeing your updates because our kids will be the same ages apart. Keep them coming!
I love the picture of Karoline and Anderson together:) It is so sweet. They are too cute!!!!!
For your sake, I hope Anderson does not put everything in his mouth!! Claire does not suck her thumb but she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth (dead bugs, rocks, shoes, toys..whatever) and it pretty much drives us crazy!! Oh well, if Anderson does it at least it will make for some funny stories (I could go on for days about the insane things we have pulled out of Claire's mouth)!! :)
Those baby food trays are really neat. I will have to get some myself--I plan on making my own food as well. They look great!
Hooray for no night feedings, that's awesome :) I am certainly not wishing Owen to get older any faster, but I do look forward to him sleeping through the night without having to eat! Your children are so precious and I love your pictures as always! :)
