mmmmm...... carrots



So Dylan's been dabbling with the ole solid foods. Well, slightly solid anyway. She did really well with this kind of rice flake stuff that you mix with milk, so Sarah thought we'd try carrots cause they're suppose to be good to start off with. Sarah steamed the carrots and then blended em to a pulp. I'm not a huge carrot fan, but I'm all for Dylan not being as picky as I am, so we gave it a shot. I cannot explain it, the pictures speak for themselves. We did try the rice/milk mixture with a dab of carrots and that was a hit.
Things are going well around here, Sarah is working hard and wishing she could be home more. I'm really enjoying this time with Dylan. It is quite tedious at times and a real challenge, but as I think about going back to school I know I'll miss it. I'll still get to hang with her in the mornings and afternoons, but I'm sure it won't be quite the same. Dylan has had some eczema issues on her monster cheeks which has been harder on me than her I think, but with some careful washing and lotioning it seems to be getting much better. I hope everyone is doing well, she's up after an extensive 30min nap, so here I go.

Those pictures were awesome!!
Butternut squash is a big hit with Caroline and making it yourself is super easy. The older girls always want to taste C's new food which I think is hilarious and I let them do of course. Even the peas, BLECK!!
Hang in there, you're right, you will miss these days once they pass.
