Forgot about tofu – thanks Aunty Margaret! We did try some tofu. Firm, plain which did not go over well. So we pureed some of it with avocado and cooked chicken which was actually pretty good. Then bought some soft and he did OK, but, I think it was the texture paired with the tatelessness [...]
So… we decided to eliminate baby food from the kids diet. Done. He will, from now on, eat like a normal human being! No more pureeing. No more ridiculously priced – but, oh-so-good, gourmet, store-bought mush. I knew this day was coming, but, I hadn’t realized that it was THIS possible. THIS easy. I stumbled [...]
We gave him a whole pear to see if he’d know what do with it. He knew… oh boy did he know. He’d just finished eating his dinner – I thought maybe he’d have a bite or two… he ate the ENTIRE thing… …and cried when I took the core away from him. Listening: Harlem [...]
My very favorite food, as I’ve mentioned many times previously, is PHO – more specifically, Pho Tai (rare steak). I add all the basil I can, squeeze of lime, two servings of bean sprouts because Marc doesn’t care for them, Sriracha and chili paste to the the magical beef broth. The adding of condiments is [...]

This is my new favorite photo of me and the boy. I love that the photo was taken on November 1 and that we are both dressed like it’s August. I love the natural light that creates soft shadows to frame our faces. I love the adoring look we are both shooting off frame – [...]
I just dropped a bottle filled with about 3 ounces of breastmilk. – I will pause so that any breastfeeding mothers out there can catch their collective breaths – I spilled the milk onto the counter and a dirty dishtowel. After my heart started back up I thought about how I could just squeeze the [...]
Son, I know I owe you your Five Month Letter… but, it’s tough to look back on the past month when you are hitting milestones left and right! I promise – I will get to it soon. Until then here’s what’s new! Marc set up the highchair last night and the kid totally dug it. [...]
What’s better than hiring a babysitter so that you can take your husband out for a nice meal? Being able to take your husband AND son out! We all headed downtown for a little window shopping on 2nd street and thought we might grab dinner as well, if the boy could hang. We ended up [...]
