Adventuring into Solids...part 1

We have adventured into solids just in the past 2 weeks now. We decided to wait until she was 6 months to start, as she is primarily breastfed.  It did not start out so well, but now it is going great.  Bailey did not like the food at first, and we had to stop briefly due to some tummy issues, but now everything is going well in the solids department as well as usual in the nursing department.  Bailey is now eating fabulously and enjoying a little bit of all the purees I made her along with a little cereal.  We are still nursing every 2-3 hours as she demands and using the solids as extra, just to introduce her to them.  Our baby is growing up too quickly!  I will go into more detail in the next post.  Here are some pictures of Bailey enjoying different things, more to come soon.  {Oh yes, and I will be posting the photos we took of her really despising disliking solids on the first try.  She has come a long way!}

Bailey, I am soo proud of you!!  I love you little one!  Love, Momma 

Marvelous Mondays-Tomorrow...

All these photos have something in common, something that is on my mind today....

What is it?!

Vacation? Photos taken by me?  Well they were all taken by me, on vacation...

Sunsets, well one is not!

Tropical places? Not really, the picture right above was taken on the good old California Coast!  

Okay, so WATER.  I am thinking about water.  This Monday I am thankful for water.  There are many different forms of water that I love but today I am thankful for a special activity in water.  Tomorrow will be Bailey's first time in the pool, yep, first time!  We are doing Mommy and Me swim lessons.  We will be going in the morning to a pool in our area that is at someone's home, it is a large salt water pool that is heated.  I think Bailey will do great since she loves her baths and has been in the shower several times.  I really hope she likes the water.  

Over the next few months we are going to try to enjoy playing and having fun in the water.  This feels like a big step, she is growing so quickly!!  The awesome thing about having swim lessons at the place we are going is that they have Saturday lessons, so Tony is excited to take Bailey to lessons!  I have been thinking about tomorrow all week, so I am excited to see what is to come...

I guess I will have one of my favorite songs in my head tomorrow,

Hope everyone has a Happy Monday, What are you thankful for today, small or large?        

Marvelous Mondays-The beautiful sky

I am always thankful when I see these...

They make me think of many things.

When I was a child and thought that there was an end of the rainbow, with a pot of gold.

They make me think of happiness and new beginnings.

All the beautiful colors, each created.

They make me think of happy times.

A picture does not do this justice.

I can not help but smile when I see these.

This was Bailey's first rainbow, I hope we see many more.

Beautiful.
