Here in the Turtle house we are practicing baby led solids, what a fun adventure it's been!  TJ's first food was sweet potatoes and that first night he did a lot of playing.  He's always been a big observer, and once I handed him a spoon and he accidentally got some sweet potato in his mouth he was sold!

Here are some of our adventures:

Turtle Dad giving the first bit of ice cream

What a loooonnnggg time it's been!  I'm ready to start jotting my e-thoughts down again as I have recently found the need to create pins for my kitchen creations, crafty endeavors and mommy experiments.  Since I can't always find what I'm looking for online, I decided I'd just put it here myself!
