Just Call Me Gerber!

Since the boys have starting trying baby food I decided that I wanted to try to make it instead of buying it.  Tonight was my first experiment.  It was a bit messy, but a success!

YUMMIE sweet potatoes!

First I tried the bullet...not my favorite.  The potatoes were too thick and just stayed in the top.

...then I tried this and it was much easier to get a smooth consistency

A week ago Friday we took Bennett off his oxygen to see how he would do and he has done GREAT!  He has not had to go back on his oxygen at all in a week and he is happier than ever.  I think he was just as ready to have all of his tubes gone as I was.

First day off oxygen!

For Labor Day we had family over for a BBQ and it was so nice to visit and have our family together!

Poppy and Blake...everyday is a crazy hair day for Blake lately!

On Wednesday we had our first speech therapy appointment at Children's in Southlake for Bennett.  I wasn't expecting it, but she had him try sweet potatoes!  She pretty much just let him play with the spoon with some food on it and he had a blast!  He had sweet potatoes in his hair and eyelashes!  There are no words to describe how happy it makes me when I see him open his mouth and want another bite!

We had to share Bennett's sweet potato experience with Daddy later that night when he got home!

Blake got to try sweet potatoes for the first time too!

Just an extra bonus of one of my favorite things in the world...holding both my boys at the same time!
