I&#39;d been practicing all of these really hard words and I lost on something so simple because I was nervous. I&#39;d won my school spelling bee and I was at a regional, so the pressure was ON! :)Ericahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15858848198641688772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35276227.post-11419140817630206332010-02-14T15:45:16.196-05:002010-02-14T15:45:16.196-05:00I love her expression here!

Great list, too. I think when our lives get busy we have to pay better attention to the smaller moments and take joy in them. I mean, maybe not a huge shopping spree day, but perhaps a moment when you can buy one special article or accessory, etc. Maybe family time that is also lunch at Nordtroms. You know, stuff like that. I love lists, and I love being tagged, so I&#39;m going to do a list - thanks for the idea!Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08661146086943795408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35276227.post-71658266894892102612010-02-02T22:40:28.151-05:002010-02-02T22:40:28.151-05:00new blog posts make me happy!Kellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09712674171556362809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35276227.post-77746567425925724282010-02-02T12:38:03.766-05:002010-02-02T12:38:03.766-05:00Great list--thanks for playing along. <br /><br />It sounds like I need to have lunch at Nordstrom&#39;s--I had no idea they had a nice cafe like that.<br /><br />And yes, for the sake of your own well-being, go right ahead and schedule that shopping spree! ;-) <br /><br />P.S.

Here&#39;s the food mill we used. http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=1182&amp;cmSource=Search<br /><br />The crazy thing is that I just can&#39;t remember when we started adding in more meals...although what Cat says about it not being much after introducing the solid foods sounds familiar. I think it takes off pretty fast, especially considering it took 6 months to get to this point!katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02716408418542815192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35276227.post-44597558882488940092009-12-10T21:20:33.052-05:002009-12-10T21:20:33.052-05:00Oh, we still feed her :) I&#39;ve given her the spoon a few times and the food ends up all over...usually the floor or her seat. I do give her the spoon towards the end when there is just a little food on it thoAmandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04893124076716484896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35276227.post-1475489332804206502009-12-10T20:46:01.151-05:002009-12-10T20:46:01.151-05:00I bet she&#39;s ready for breakfast! Can&#39;t hurt to try - just adds in a bit more time to the morning routine. And good for you to let her self feed so early. I think we were pretty regularly spooning it to her for the first couple months at least (!). good luck!Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13678995152526618877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35276227.post-75558844133052899562009-12-10T15:26:21.361-05:002009-12-10T15:26:21.361-05:00Well, it was a while ago, so the details are fuzzy, but I remember giving him some solids more than once a day fairly soon after starting him on cereal. We also stuck to veggies for a while before tasting fruits in an effort to steer clear of sugary stuff. He never liked bananas at all, though, which is probably a texture thing, but he always love love loved carrots and green beans (and still does!)Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08661146086943795408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35276227.post-27546329927787461542009-11-20T22:36:27.449-05:002009-11-20T22:36:27.449-05:00Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium? <br />Help, please.
