And the winner is.....

We have slowly been working our way through all of the baby food vegetables and fruits. We have introduced him to the five beginning vegetables--peas, green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash. And of the five the hands down winner is.......(drum roll, please) SQUASH!! Yes, I am just as shocked as you are. Of all of the vegetables, that is the one that I don't eat. They say that breastfed babies normally like what their mothers eat because they've been introduced to that flavor already. For that reason I was convinced Kai would love sweet potatoes. And actually he does like them, just not as much as squash. He actually likes all of the vegetables, except peas. And I think most of you have seen that video. If not, you should check it out. It's great for laughs. Anyway, I just thought I'd share Kai's love for squash with you all. We're still testing out the fruits and so far we have found that bananas aren't that great and prunes, well, I try to get him to eat a couple of spoonfulls just to help him regulate. But he does love his applesauce. I took a really cute picture of him today staring at the empty applesauce jar for this really forlorn look. I'll have to get Reid to upload it soon. Well, Kai is calling so I better get going.

Home Sweet Home

What an incredibly busy last few months we have had!! Because our home was set to close on Tuesday the 6th of November, we scheduled the moving company for the 1st and 2nd. The last night in our first home was on the 1st and then we moved in with my parents. The cleaning company came on the 3rd and then Reid, Kai, and I were off to Colorado early in the morning on the 4th. For the time being, we're staying in corporate housing. The first house that we put on offer on was sold to someone else and we wanted to look at a few more houses before making another offer. We didn't waste anytime and were out looking at houses on Monday and Tuesday and by Tuesday night we were ready to make an offer. And the best news yet is I just found out that they accepted our offer (after 2 counter offers)!! So, we will soon have a home. The closing date is set for November 26th. To see more pictures of the house, you can go to Reid's picasaweb album at http://picasaweb.google.com/reidjones. It's a beautiful 3,700 square foot ranch home on 27,000 square feet (over half an acre). Kai is going to have lots of room to run and play!!

Speaking of Kai, he's had a bit of a hard time adjusting to the time zone out here--daylight savings time didn't help either. But he's finally getting there. I can't wait to get him into a new house and back into his crib, though. For Halloween he was a pea--a sweet pea. And he really is our little sweet pea.He's eating solids and doing well with that most of the time and he rolls like nobody's business. I can't leave him alone too long at the risk of him moving several feet at a time. He's also found a way to scoot around like an inch worm. He'll lay on his back and arch his back and push off of his feet. He can seriously move this way and it always makes me laugh. He's run into a few walls because he can't see where he's going. It's so cute!!

Well, I better get going. But I'll be back soon!!
