Being a mommy

 I have to admit that this whole being a mommy is GREAT! I had to chuckle earlier today, As I was changing Presley's diaper I had to inspect it to see if her poop looked normal or not since we are slowly adding in some dairy products to see if she can handle it. As I was "inspecting" it I thought to myself had someone told me that I would  "inspect" poop I would have laughed at them and said "that's just disgusting!" But here I find myself doing it on a regular basis. Gross, some may say yes, but I realize it just comes with the territory. In sharing this little story I must also say that her poop did look normal. So I believe there is a big YAY! to be had here for the 2 of us.

    Today I have been very busy in the kitchen. I have been making all of Presley's baby food, it's so much healthier for her and I think it's fun and I know what is going into everything that she eats. Today I made peach and mango puree, baked apples with raisins and cinnamon, brown rice risotto, and chicken and apple balls. I have so much more to make in the next few days. I am doing my best to make sure that she gets a taste of all things, since I don't want her to be a picky eater like me! So far she likes everything, with the exception of bananas recently. Oh and the verdict is still out on kiwi. She loves to self feed and make a mess of herself. This is really hard for me as I want to wipe off every crumb or smear as she eats. which most of you know babies are not fond of having their faces wiped every 30 seconds. So I just try and go with it. I am also living the fact that she is eating 3 meals a day and I have been able to cut out 2 nursing sessions! but at the same time it makes me sad knowing that in the near future I will be done nursing  :( (my goal was to nurse until she turns 1) I love the bonding time that we have when she nurses, but I cant see myself nursing too much past the year mark as that seem to awkward to me. So there you go there is a look into my life as a new mommy for now!
