How to Make Your Own Baby Food: A Primer

If this post seems out of place, that's because this is the best place for me to keep track of this website! But some of the moms out there may find it interesting, too.

This will be one of those photos we pull out when we have a need to embarrass our son in the future. ;-)

Milestone

Last night, Little Ted reached a milestone: he slept through the night for the very first time. He went to bed at his usual time of 7 p.m. and didn't wake up until 4 a.m. I know - that doesn't sound like a full night's sleep from an adult's perspective (who among us really wants to be up at 4 a.m.?). But for the baby, it is. I'm generally up with him twice - around midnight and again at 4 a.m. After the 4 a.m. feeding, I put him back to bed, and I head downstairs, get some coffee, and get to work on my dissertation (it's a good opportunity for me to get at least two hours of uninterrupted work in during the day). Let me tell you, it's not that easy to be up and ready to work at 4 a.m. when you have to wake up every couple of hours or so. But this morning, I was wide awake after having had 5 hours of sleep in a row! I'm not sure when the last time that happened was. And I'm not sure when it will happen again. But I'm hoping this means Little Ted will get in the habit of sleeping longer soon enough.

(On the flip side, Little Ted had a rough day today because he couldn't settle down enough to take his usual 2 1/2 hour nap this afternoon. Guess he was afraid that he might sleep too long if he got comfortable . . .)

Daddy's Birthday

Ted's birthday was last week Tuesday (the 27th). Here is a snippet of our celebration:



This was Little Ted's first birthday experience. As you can see, he wasn't quite sure if he should like blowing out candles or not.

Mommy's Workout

I've discovered a new workout that, even if it proves not to be too successful, is extremely entertaining.
