Gorgeous Saturday

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day today There's nothing like Sixty-five degree sunshine in the middle of winter to do wonders for your mood and productivity. Trudy and I hung out under the carport potting broccoli and onion sprouts while Dave took down the dog pen and replaced it in "the field" for our new garden area.

Broccoli

Red Onion

There's a list of about 5 reasons I keep my nails super-short. Now there's 6 reasons.

Trudy's diapers got a much-needed sun bleaching. I just love the look of fluff on the line!

Introducing solids - attempts number 2 and 3

We tried to coax Trudy into taking some rice cereal mixed with breast milk in a bottle when she was 5 months old. She wasn't impressed. Now that she's a few days away from turning six months, I thought I'd attempt the same concoction in a cup.

All ready to go

Bring it on!

We wound up with a big mess as I expected. She made a face, spit it all out, and wound up wearing the cereal. she was however very interested in chewing the lip of the cup. *sigh*

Who? Me? And what might I ask is wrong with just nursing the rest of my life? Mommy has a few reasons. :)

Fast forward a couple days and I decided to try some bananas. I read that breastfed babies tend to like bananas while formula-fed babies tend to like cereals. Here's the reaction the bananas brought.
