I know I have not blogged in a really long time... I have had a ton of changes in my life recently what with being laid off and starting my own business, etc. Every day seems to fill itself up with tasks and activities. On Monday we got back from our trip to Black Butte (which was a lot of fun), but unfortunately Matt and I both came down with some sort of chest infection. Mine is worse than his, maybe because of my asthma. Luckily Kisa is still healthy as a horse, thanks to mama milk.
Anyway... a lot of new stuff has been happening with her recently. She's quite the little squirmer, and she's started to move herself around from place to place. It's not crawling, it's more like a weird combination of wiggling/grabbing/rolling that is just as effective. Which means I can't take my eyes off of her, even for a moment, unless she's in her crib or strapped into her bouncy chair. (Even today I watched her wriggle almost completely out of her chair and caught her with both palms on the ground trying to make a clean break.) Sigh... my little baby is growing up.
Our newest thing has been slowly introducing some food over the past month plus. She has conquered rice and barley cereal, green beans, peas, and avocado. I have been making my own baby food, which is cheap and fun, plus I feel like I have had a more hands-on approach to her diet so far. I have been researching the most nutritious foods for her to eat and when to introduce each one. We are trying to steer away from the fruits and sweeter vegetables, and probably juice, until much later on. I want her to learn to enjoy nutritious foods like cauliflower, spinach and squash before we get too crazy with the sweets. However, every time I turn my head Matt seems to be feeding her whip cream, milkshakes and sugar (yes, he fed her plain sugar the other day). I think he enjoys working against me.

you started your own business? doing what??? -Kristin
It's my duty as a father to spoil our daughter when you're not looking.
nope. that's a grandparent's job. ask anyone.
it is your duty as a father to BACK YOUR WIFE UP. who's with me?
(kidding, Matt. you're a very supportive husband.)
furthermore. have you considered making a purse with panels on the side? so it's like the shape of a paper bag?
I am obsessed with them by the way. I have been thinking about them all week. I'm not kidding.
Kristin- I have been making handbags. I will send you some pics when I have my first set completed.
Ashby, I agree with you. Father does what Mother says. Grandparents give them ice cream at 6 months. That's just the way things go, Matthew.
Ciara, just catching up on your blog. I don't have an RSS reader on my new computer yet so I am way behind on every blog on my list. Is Kisa enjoying her veggies? My kids loved squash early on. They dispised peas until they were given them whole.
