Seven Super Quick Takes

1. My new favorite bubble tea is green tea. It's deliciously light and very yummy!
2. D is now wearing a range of sizes from 3-12 months! Someone might have to hold me soon.
3. I was wined and dined in the best way possible this weekend.. with a green tea bubble tea and a california avocado sandwich from atlanta bread company.
4. I need some moral support and advise/tips on asking for a raise.
5. My two year anniversary is coming up and I'm still trying to decide if I want to try and eat meat again.. I've been vegetarian for ~2.5 years but definitely craving some filet mignon!
6. Making vegetarian stroganoff tonight and I can't wait! YUM!
7. I must be hungry.. most of my takes are about food =p
   

I'm back!

It's been a while, huh?
Since the last time I posted.. I've had a baby, learned how to breastfeed, change diapers, swaddle, gone back to work, cried when I left my baby at daycare and started baby food to name a few.

I don't really know where to begin.. but.. I guess I should start with the kid =)

D was born on April 29th, 2009 at 10:18pm. He weighted 7lbs 9oz and was 20.5inches long.

He's already 5 months old! He'll be 21 weeks on Wednesday. I can't believe it! At his daycare there is a new baby boy that is 12 weeks old and I can't even believe how much D has changed since he was that age.

We started solids about two weeks ago. Rice cereal first and then this past Friday I gave him some sweet potatoes. He wasn't too impressed. Then I gave him some last night and he totally had his mouth open for more! He finished the whole jar! I'm thinking of giving him sweet peas tonight but we'll see how our evening goes.

We also started to leave him unswaddled for bed which is going pretty well. We kept finding him unswaddled in the morning and then S found him with the longer part of the miracle blanket around his face. So, that night we put him in some footie pj's and kept one arm in and tied the loose arm in a knot. We did that for a couple of nights and then the third night I forgot to knot it before he fell asleep. Not wanting to wake him after I had already laid him down, I just slightly tucked it under him. The next morning I found him with both arms through the sleeves! Since that night I've just put him in the pj's and he's been awesome. We DO put a paci in his mouth and if he wakes up we stick it back in. Otherwise, it's been a breeze!

One of my BFs mentioned starting a blog to keep a record of the cute things her kids do. Great idea! I figure it couldn't hurt to try and it'll be great to read back on.

That's all for now. I hope to keep up with this better than I did with the actual pregnancy ;)
