5 months!
Another month has flown by. A few highlights from the last month: *Van started eating real food! He had rice cereal and sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving and loved them. We have given him rice cereal, yams, bananas, and oatmeal so far. He will be trying avocado tomorrow. He has devoured everything he has tried so far and gets upset when it is all gone. *He went to his first movie in the theater. He did so great that we took him to another movie the next week. *4 month shots 🙁 He did great and didn’t have any reactions only a little crying. *Van is now scooting to try to…

Turducken
Warning: Graphic bird butchering images… For Thanksgiving we decided to make our own Turducken. Turkey- duck- cornish game hen. They are $80 at Vons and we managed to make it for about $30. A few days before Thanksgiving we de-boned the birds. The hen and the duck were fairly easy, but both of us had to work together and break out the heavy artillery for the turkey. After all the bones were removed (except for the turkey legs which we left on) we seasoned the birds with Tony’s Cajun seasoning and wrapped them up until Thanksgiving morning. Total weight after de-boning was 22lbs. of pure meat! Since the turkey was…

Van’s First Food
Van LOVED eating real food. He couldn’t get enough and cried when it was all gone. What a fun Thanksgiving treat 🙂

Winner!
I just won a free Bebe Belay clip that Petite Saver was giving away! I love that I can use it as a paci clip now and later on use it to make an instant bib for Van (or Kenny). No need for disposable bibs 🙂 I am so excited! My mom told me about Petite Saver. If you haven’t checked out her blog, it is pretty cool. She lists sales and coupons for kid & baby items. Another great blog for giveaways is Penelope’s Pitstop (which I designed!) A few months ago I won a changing pad from her. Penny is so sweet and has great giveaways all the…

4 months!
4 months old already! Every month it comes faster and faster. My newborn is no longer a newborn, and is growing up so fast. This month he learned and did so many new things… Van switched to a 4 hour feeding schedule. I love it! We have so much more time to do things and he gets longer naps which he seems to like. He went to Disneyland for the first time. First time at the pumpkin patch and trick-or-treating on Halloween. He started sleeping in his own room. At first he would wake up a few times during the night, but we would just pop in his paci and…

Thumb Sucker
Van discovered he has a thumb that works great for putting himself to sleep. He is able to put himself back to sleep when he wakes up from naps and during the night. I know we will have to break him of it one day, but it is so nice having him sleep all night without a peep… and it is so stinking cute too 🙂 I think I am getting tired Fast asleep in his stroller Happy boy after his nap. We found him a hat like Daddy’s at Baby Gap. We just tried it on for now. P.S. Pictures were taken on my cell phone so they are…
