You Know Your Baby is a CHUNK When...

You pick him up out of the Bumbo and the Bumbo comes with him!!!

This is a Bumbo for those of you that aren't familiar...

This happened tonight and I could not stop laughing. His chubby little thighs were squeezed into the Bumbo that when I went to get him out, I had to physically pull the chair off of him instead of it just staying on the floor like it is supposed to :) Hopefully Will will be sitting up on his own pretty soon or he might just get stuck in there one day!

Speaking of chubby babies, I just started reading a book that I ordered off Amazon called Super Baby Food.
I am loving it! Any of you with babes around Will's age would probably enjoy it too. It starts from 6 months ( or before if you start food like we did at 4.5 months old) and goes until they are 3, giving you tips for how to make your own baby food, what to give when, how much, etc. All of this info you get at the pediatrician office, but this is more like a handbook. It is very easy to reference. She gives all sorts of money saving tips throughout the book as well. Some parts are a little extreme...for example when she is talking about the best place to store vegetables, she said that potatoes should be stored in a cool, dark place. She recommends if there is no where in your kitchen to store them, to try the attic. I can't imagine going up to the attic to retrieve a potato. For us, it would be the unfinished bonus room which is neither dark, nor cool at the moment...But she does have some really good tips. I am not one of those crazy organic people that think babies must have all organic....I have even bought the off brand baby food. But while I am home this summer, I am going to give it a go at making some of my own vegetable and fruit baby food. The fruit is easy and with a bit more time, you can make enough vegetable servings for a whole month (she says it takes about an hour). I will let you know how it goes-but check out the book if you are in this stage of life.
