Talk about getting BIG

Annie has decided that she would like to wear panties, so yesterday we bought some and she has been wearing them ever since. It's been all day today (including a short park trip and a long shopping trip at costco) with NO accident. She just came in and told me she needs to "poop, Mom" and went to sit on the potty. This is really TOOO easy! She acts like its no big deal. I haven't pulled out one piece of candy or made any charts. She's done and it's time to wipe! What a great thing! I keep telling myself this is much too good to be true and are totally preparing for a regression....

Growing so fast...

Emily is getting so big! We've started feeding her real food the last 3 weeks, and she LOVES it! I've started all three kids with baby prunes first - figuring that gives them some strong flavor to get used to. So far we've done the following: YoBaby yogurt, banans, sweet spuds, peas, mango, rice cereal, and avocados! My freezer is quickly filing up with colorful little ice cubes! Annie and Ben both love to help me do the blender and take tastes of each thing. They haven't liked the blended peas so much and Annie literally spit the baby rice cereal back at me! Oh well - they just like the fresh stuff. Now, I need to consult my baby food bible (Best Baby Food by Ruth Yaron) to see what comes next! This is my blog tribute to Scharman Grimmer who helped me feed Ben and helped me create good eaters!!!
