8 months

This little munchkin is gonna be 8 months on Saturday.

Time sure flies when you are having fun.

Big news of the week: He can now stand on his own! I was so proud!!!

And I was on a roll with making Hyrum food the other day because our visitors, Wendy and Janice (Mav's cousin and friend who helped their daughters move into the BYUH dorms), gave me one of these

for my birthday! Which makes baby food making 10 times easier.

 I made sweet potato, carrots, carrots and peas, potato and broccoli and pear.

And he LOVES it more than the Gerber jar mush.

HIGHLY recommended!

Fall Semester

I am not a student anymore but Fall Semester started today and i am STRESSED!!!!

It totally crept up on me...

TOTALLY!!!!

with that said...I am not prepared!

I didnt know Mav's class schedule...

which means I had to work out my work schedule...

not to forget babysitters...

my list of things to do when Mav is out of school is no where near half...

uuuhhhgggghhhhh!!!! STREEESSSS!!!!!

then i have other things to worry about too...

like that BLASTED green card application...

S T R E S S ! ! ! ! !

did i mention that Mav has an internship from 3 - 8pm MWF!

and classes from 11 - 2:30!!!

so it tough finding a babysitter for that long...

so if you know anyone who can look after a Hyrum for a decent college student/starting family price...

SEND THEM MY WAY

PLEEAAASSSEE!!!!

Much Mahalos!!!

Baby Food

The Gerber baby food that we get for free from WIC is kinda getting old to Hyrum.  He seems to not like the flavour as much as he use to.  So I decided to do a little experiment and make my first ever baby food.

So I started with just carrots...nice and easy for a first timer...

So I boiled it...

While this one looks on...

Boil till soft...

then let the blender at it...

Our blender SUXS so I had to mash it some more with a fork

Add with some baby rice cereal

Then serve...

CRITIC SAYS:

"hhhhhhmmmmmmmmm..."

"CARROTS!"

"YUMMY!!!"

"YUMMY!!!"

Warning: Food may make a reappearance on the other end.

Have you made your babys food before? What are your tried and tested tricks that I can adapt? Keep in mine that I DO NOT cook.

It never ceases to amaze me all the new things that Hyrum learns each day.

AMAZING!!! 

New Beginning

SO i always thought that blogging has to be this big huge paragraphs that turns into a novel.

And it discourages me to blog because i feel like I have to write a lot.

But i have recently realize that blogging can be ANYTHING that i want it to be.

So this is my new beginning.

I think that it is important to blog for memories sake. like a journal (which i have also neglected recently).

Since i am on the computer like the MAJORITY of the day...i NEED to blog regularly so i can be reminded of my days during my quarter century times while putting my husband through school with a very very hyperactive son.

So im changing the way i blog.

Hopefully it sticks.

Wish me luck!

So Bad!

Bad at blogging! Must blog more! Probly wont happen...
