Baby Food Intimidation

I did it! I actually made baby food from scratch for Bentley! I was super-intimidated at first, but it really wasn't too hard at all. Just a little steaming, perhaps some peeling, blending... and voila! Instant homemade baby food... and much cheaper! I had saved the containers from some I had purchased to start us off with, plus I had some trays specifically for this purpose given to me by my mother-in-law. Amazing! Here is a pic of my endeavors... yes, I had to stage it, I was super-proud of my feat! I don't call myself a cook quite yet, but I am learning, so this was a HUGE step for me! (there were several more containers in the freezer. Peas, zuchinni and pears, oh my!


Bentley tried eating the zucchini and pears today. Pears are for sure a favorite. And zucchini, well, I think she liked laughing and smiling with her dad more than anticipating a bite of zuchinni.

Why Christians Get a Bad Name...

... from lame things like this:

"Give these vinyl foam-filled footballs as door prizes at your next church event! A sporty favorite for Sunday School, these 4" inspirational footballs have scenes from the Bible. They work for a variety of outdoor games and athletic activities. © OTC
only $9.99/dozen"



...and why people think we know nothing about art or design...



oh yeah and Thomas Kinkade... sorry to anyone who likes his work. Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate his ability to paint, but I hope heaven looks a LOT different than little cottages by streams with 'realistic' lights.



got on my soapbox a bit :)

I am 7 months today!

Check out my photo shoot...







Check out my teeth...




And I'm spent...

Bouncing Baby

In the last few weeks, Bentley has really taken to bouncing in her exersaucer. I think it is a crack up. Probably the beginning of those sweet dance moves in the earlier post. :)

Bentley's Dance Moves

A little Breakdancer?



And Bentley attempts the "Worm"
(We were trying to catch her on tape rolling over, but it turned into this new dance move that she had never done before!)
