Melanie and her New Slide
Duane and I went for a walk last night. And we stumbled upon a lady setting out these toys. She had a slide and a fish rocker. I asked her about them, she said they work great, but her son has out grown them. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Melanie. But, please don't tell her...we got the toys for FREE!

Video of Melanie Eating a Peach
"Baby Food" is HIGHLY OVER RATED! Gerber is definitly making a prophet in the baby business. I don't think people realize that you don't HAVE TO feed your baby solid food until they are "READY" to actually eat. I tried to start Melanie on solid food at 4 months, then at 6 months. And she could care less. However, Melanie is 10 months old now and is showing signs of "wanting" to eat food other than breast milk. But, she went from rejecting homeade pureed food to LOVING "Finger Food". Now I can't feed her anything. She ONLY wants to feed herself. And if I do feed her anything from a spoon, it has to come from my plate. She already knows what "her" feeding bowls look like, and doesn't want to eat from them. She is quite a clever little girl. However she eats, I'm happy to know that she is getting the good stuff, breastmilk and "fresh" food.
Melanie and Her Friend Claire
I babysat my friend Ellen's daughter-Claire twice this week. WOW! 2 babies are a handful, but so much FUN! Claire shares the same B-Day as Kate, my neice. She even knows a few signs, so I got to practice signing with her. It was a lot of fun.
