WONDERFUL wednesday

smith and i had an amazing day...really, close to perfect!  he was so, so good with naps like clockwork and a very happy mood all day long.  i was able to get a ton done on my second grocery cart/high chair cover.  in fact, i am very, very near done.  that is what i love about doing a pattern twice.  the second time around, it is so much faster.  here are the two fabrics that i am using for this 'boy' gift.

smith tried cottage cheese for the first time today.  i mixed it with peaches...he thought it was OK...most things he eats, so, as usual, he ate this right up.  we have been working on him eating peeled, quartered grapes by himself.  i took a tip from my super baby food book and rolled them in his cereal to make it easier to grasp and not so slippery.  in the book, they also say this is safer b/c slippery foods can be sucked into his 'windpipe' too easily.  so, i got a video with his very first successful transfer from fingers to mouth...it was so exciting!

i ended my amazing day with fresh veggies from the garden (dressed with salt, pepper, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar) and a toasted and buttered piece of sourdough bread.  it was simply delicious...usually simple meals are! 

 oh yeah, and then a run on the treadmill with enough joy from the day to actually make the run fun as well....weird, i know.

i love you smithy...thanks for making my day wonderful!
