Blake is Eating!

Blake has been eating baby food for two months or more now. We started off giving him breakfast, rice or oatmeal baby cereal. Started to add fruit. Then a month later introduced veggies for dinner. Gradually moved him to the meat and veggie dinners, then recently started to add a fruit in adition to that. A couple days ago he started getting a fruit or a veggie at lunch. A few weeks ago we introduced juice, his fav being banana strawberry. =]
Sometimes at dinner I do not have time to hand feed him both jars of baby food so sometimes after his meat and veggie dinner I have started cutting up banana or apples and putting them in this netting feeder thing I have. He LOVES it! Then yesterday i just cut up the banana very finely and he ate it off the tray. I also have given him the gerber puffs, strawberry/apple or sweet potatoe. Now anytime I feed the girls something or get out something small(ie: raisins) he thinks he has to have some too and starts fussing for his share. Pretty cute....and annoying when it is not for him and you have nothing for him!
Well, tonight while I was making dinner he was fussing to eat so I gave him his first biter biscuit. Joe has wanted to give him one for some time and I 1)was worried he could not handle it 2) didnt want to clean up the mess. But he did quite well and I threw him in the tub when he was done with that, 1/4 of a banana, greber puffs and 1 jar of baby food! =]
My little man sure does like to eat!

First day of Pre-K

Katie's First day of Pre-K was today. Last night she excitedly helped me pack her lunch. This morning I had to wake her up bright and early to get dressed and out the door in time. We actually had a few minutes to spare before we had to leave after we all got ready and she talked about what she hoped she would do today....make new friends, play, read, ect.
When I dropped her off I thought I would be emotional....I wasn't but I have two reasons I feel that helped with that 1) Ally was upset we were leaving Katie and I had to carry both her and Blake out of the classroom 2) Katie has been going to PDO since she was 18 months so it was just like dropping her off there. Maybe Kindergarten of 1st grade will be harder for me to grasp?!
Well, Ally, Blake and I went tennis shoe shopping for me and the whole time ally whined, said she missed her sis and didnt even want to play in the mall play area. Then when we picked Katie up from school they bickered the rest of the day! shew....I hope this transition does not take long. I do not think I can cope with it for too long!
Katie said she went to the school library, painted, took a walk, had nap time, ate lunch, played, made 2 new best friends, talked to Sam(one of joe's friends that works there--one of Blake's God fathers) She said she had a lot of fun and can not wait to go back next week.
Today was her first phase in day. Next tuesday is her next one and the following week she will begin full time. 8am-2:45 Monday-Friday. She is so excited. =]
