No…I’m not talking about Katie’s poop.  That’s not the only thing we talk about here. 

I’m talking about “Solids” because Katie started eating rice cereal from a spoon this weekend!  Lately, she hasn’t been satisfied with her usual amounts of milk.  So I decided to try to give her solids.  Most people say to wait until six months but oh well.  She’s 5 months old today.  close enough…. You are supposed to start with watery rice cereal but it seemed too thin.  I ended up making it thicker and it was easier to feed her byt she is still not that used to the spoon yet so it was kind of messy.

I love these Robeez booties!  I’m thinking these would be perfect for Katie during our Whistler trip and look how cute they are with a skirt.  Too bad they are pretty pricey.  Is $40 too much to spend on shoes for a baby that doesn’t even walk yet??

My parent’s home remodeling is finally finished so we started taking Katie to their house on weekdays.  Pish takes her in the mornings and I pick her up after work.  I usually feed her and then head home just in time for the rush hour traffic.

On monday, I was lazy and just wanted to get home so I took the toll road (paying the $4.25 toll).  It’s convenient because the exit is closer to our house but it can be an expensive habit.  On Tuesday, I decided to save money and just take the 405.  As I got on the freeway I realized that since I had Katie in the car, I could take the carpool lane.  It was great.  All lanes were stopped and there was barely anyone in the carpool lane!  I need to teach Katie to wave at all the stopped cars.  bye bye suckers! 

We had a busy saturday this past weekend.  In the morning we attended Emily’s first birthday party at the Cerritos library.  It was really nice and the food was great!

Then at night we attended Jayme and Beck’s wedding. Luckily the rained cleared up and turned out to be perfect weather. The place was beautiful and we had so much fun catching up with my high school friends.

I can’t believe it’s been over a year since I started blogging!  Back on September 7, 2006 we found out I was pregnant.  It all started out as two vertical lines (http://www.bigseefut.com/2006/09/07/two-vertical-lines/) and now we have a real live baby that is almost 5 months old!  Nature is truely amazing.

 
Last night we went to Nick and Ly’s house for pizza night.  Siena is such a cutie!  Katie was really jealous about the hair though. 

For the past two days, my mom has held Katie over the toilet.  We were hoping she would poop but she peed!  Early stages of potty training??  She’s only 4.5 months old now.  It would be great if she knew how to pee in the toilet and Pish will be happy because we’d save money on diapers.  hehe
