Small Steps

It's been a week and a bit since I talked about being in creative block. Here are some SMALL steps I've taken to wiggle out of that funk. But before my little list, let's just reminisce with an old song. My brain was dancing as I typed the title of this entry.

A Solid Mess

Starting to feed the monkey some solids. No real plan in place, just getting her used to the idea of a spoon going in her mouth, the feeling of a bib going around her neck, and all of us sitting at the table together. I'm going to spoon feed her mushy food to start. I know baby led weaning is touted as the best way to introduce solids, but I don't think Edie can actually get much without any teeth. I agree that "food before one is just for fun", but I don't want to clean up a giant mess each day just so she can have fun at the table. Hopefully Edith will develop a love for food as well as the occasion of eating. Nothing makes me happier than to enjoy a simple and delicious meal with family or friends. Can't wait to share such moments with little E.

For now, let's start with eating the food and not the bib.

Dragging my Feet

I know I have much more time and energy than before, but there are so many nights when I just don't want to tackle any of my to-dos, not even the half finished projects that I once looked forward to. It's a conflicting situation when I usually find contentment in creating things. Is this a mom thing? A mid-life thing? Or just laziness?

More importantly, how do I get out of this funk?

Looking for your thoughts and suggestions. Now don't all jump at once(!), the two people who read this blog.

Edie's 5 Month Update

Size
Weight: 12 lbs 3 oz
Height: 25" (haha wha same as last month? Honey I shrunk the kid!)

She gained so little in the past month, boo! More alert and louder than ever, I'll take that as she's just fine. Plus, she doesn't fit into her 0-3 onesies so she must be growing taller.
