Tia Brown Barth gave me a fantastic book, Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron. I haven't yet sat down to read it extensively, but I took a few minutes to peruse it to find out how to make homemade baby food out of sweet potatoes, which David loved when fed from a store-bought jar. The process was incredibly easy, resulted in about 10 little jars, and David scarfed it down. Makes me excited to try other food. It saves money, is fresher and without extra additives, and allows me to feed him organic without the expensiveness of store-bought organic baby food.
Solids are still a lot more work than bottles, but David is doing quite well at diving for the spoon (sometimes with so much force I worry he'll send it through the back of his throat!). He is especially fond of sweet potatoes, apple and pear sauce, and mashed bananas (watered down with formula). Well, come to think of it, that's all I've introduced him to thus far, save rice cereal! I guess he pretty much likes it all!
And one more cute photo of David. I've been walking with him nearly every morning of Spring Break, and he got a bit too much sun one day. But he won't keep his hat on, and I hate to use the Ergo shade too much, because he can't observe the world as much. At least he isn't a pasty white as I am, so my dad says he can handle up to an hour of sun without sunscreen. He does have one patch on his arm where his pigment isn't as dark: that must be his 1/4 Irish coming through!

fun to talk with you today. david is so cute! what a smile.
your easter pictures are great Lisa! you look beautiful. i didn't even take any - it was freezing cold and the kids were exhausted by the time we got home.
I can totally picture you as Diane Keaton in Baby Boom, going from ten jars of sweet potato to a huge canning enterprise that you do all by yourself.
