9 Months Old!

Little Miss is 9 months old today.

Her 9 month appointment is Thursday so I will update with her stats and other fun stuff in that post! :o)

On To Kindergarten.

Hannah had her last day of preschool last Thursday.

It was sad to say goodbye to her teachers, but it was nice knowing that next Fall, we will be right back there with Colson. We really do love the school and we are glad that we will be there for a few more years. :o)

I'm not sure I like the fact that I now have a kindergartener though. Actually, no, I take that back...I know I don't like it.

It feels just like yesterday that Hannah was Hailey's age and now here she is, getting ready to start full day school in just a few short months.

It's not fair, how fast time flies!!!

But when Hannah had her first day of preschool, I took a photo of her.

I wasn't going to take a last day of preschool photo but after I saw other parents doing, I wanted to as well.

It's crazy just how much they grow in such a short period of time.

Hailey's Adventures In Baby Food

I have been promising this post for over a month so I figured it was time to just sit down and write it.

Hailey has loved every food she has tried--even if the photos below make it look like she is not enjoying themt. :oP

I have started the other two out on rice cereal first so I kept with that for Hailey, as well. I figured it's a nice plain starter for them to figure out how to move the food in their mouth.

Here is her first taste of the rice cereal.

Then we moved onto actual veggies. Peas were her first veggie and to my surprise she really liked them.

Every time I gave the kids food, I always waited for them to spit it back out at me. It never happened...which I guess was good, but for some reason I wanted the hilarious videos. :oP

I did manage to get some funny photos though so I have those.

Below is her first taste of butternut squash.

And while, yes, she made the funny face, she actually really loved them. I couldn't get them into her mouth fast enough!

Hailey has gone on to love everything and I have loved making her food!

Peas

Butternut squash

Sweet potatoes

Avocado

Carrots

Apple

Banana

Pears

Peaches

Mangos

I have given her some pre-made baby foods that have strawberry and blueberries in it and she has loved those as well.

Next on the menu is to start giving her food combos with spinach and kale and some more adventurous foods.

I stopped at the basics with the other two kiddos so I am excited to give the other foods a try. Maybe Hailey won't be such a picky eater like her siblings when she is older. :o/ Wishful thinking??? Perhaps!

Anyone have any favorite baby food recipes that they would like to share??? I'm a newb and the combo recipes.

I checked out a book from the library to make the simple foods and I think I am going to have to check it back out for the more adventurous food combos. I know it has recipes that included spinach and cauliflower, etc.

But yeah, there we are. Hailey loves everything so fingers crossed that that carries into toddlerhood. :o)

8 Month Comparison

I am always a sucker for a good comparison picture so I thought I would compare all of the kids 8 month pictures.

I think Hannah and Colson have some pretty obvious differences and Hailey tends to look more like Colson than Hannah. But they also all have certain similarities so they definitely look like siblings.

I have been told that Hailey looks the most like me. Colson definitely looks the most like Nick. And I am still a firm believer that Hannah is a good mix of both of us.

And now that Hannah and Colson are older, they are looking more alike.

I just love how they all have a matching left cheek dimple. :o)

What do you think? Who looks like who? Or do you think they all look different?
