hey guess what? home made baby food-not so hard after all. and the nubbin...sweet potatoes, YES. peas, not so much, carrots, even less. and that's as far as we've gotten folks. he looks so cute in his high chair, such a big boy. mostly he likes to bang on the tray and screech like a baby velociraptor. music to my ears. did you ever wonder what the soundtrack to your life would be? these noises are just a small part of my symphony... today, yes, today was a good day. the hub stayed home from work. we all slept 'till 8:15. did you hear me right? 8:15!! i bolted into the nub's room to find him wide awake, sucking his thumb and happy as a clam. i love that moment, when he discovers my face above his. inevitably, whether he's content or in the middle of a squawk, as soon as i get there it's all smiles. one of the many small gifts of motherhood i suppose.
we breakfasted together. cereal, applesauce, and a wee bit of boobie juice for the small one, cheerios/total and strawberries for the mama, cookie crisp for the daddy. i went to a meeting, then to the gym and home to find the hub putting the vacuum through it's paces. the nub went down for a nap, how much do i love that he does that now? the hub left for a quick meeting of his own. i showered, did lunch. hub came home. the nub bounced away in his jumper while the hub read a book and i got ready. and then, IKEA!
plopped the baby in his sling, found a rug, some baskets, got some meatballs, wondered how a leisurely stroll through the best sweden has to offer ended up costing me $110. those ikea people, it's a conspiracy i tell you.
and home.
stories, prayers and nursing for nub. kisses and loves from mama and daddy. an evening of dexter, scrubs re-runs, the warmth of the computer on my lap.
now to bed.
perfection would be this day on repeat.

Impressed with the baby food. Never attempted that. Maybe with this little one. Days like yours was are awesome! Hope to get to the napping point again someday.
I should consider a baby sling shouldn't I? What kind do you have? (I think you told us this before, but I have a newborn. Forgive me.)
I love it when my husband stays home and we have an nice lazy day. Your little one is at such a cute age. Congrats on the 8:15. Nothing to sneeze at, that's for sure.
Sleeping past 8 is a total bonus!! Look at you making homemade baby food! Glad you had a fun-tastic day.
your day sounded heavenly.
also- have u tried cauliflower? it is sweet when steamed and mooshed.
nice day your family had together. I am totally impressed with the babyfood factory...goodonya!
when I saw the title for this post, i thought you were talking about corn! :) hahaha
I love days like that.
I think our babies are pretty close in age. Was yours August maybe? (too lazy to scroll back)
Anywho-We just started some rice cereal the other day & he looooves it. I want to make my own food this time (didn't with my other 2).
So, was it that easy? Steam/puree/freeze? Ice cube trays it looks like? How did you defrost the food Kalli?
good job on the baby food factory. good job (nub) on the 8:15.
good job (hub) on the vacuuming.
love the last line of this post; love those kinds of days.
i love perfect days.
i would so take that day myself, thanks! how much do i LOVE ikea? next time you are on gmail when i am on gmail we owe each other a nice long chat. maybe we need a gmail date?
Nice job! I keep meaning to make it and it just doesn't happen! You're inspiring.
