I am extremely behind on my blogging. I am quite dissappointed in myself actually. We had a Halloween party for some in town kiddos and their families that we know and I have all kinds of cute pictures to post. Will also was 9 months last week and went to the doctor and I have yet to do a nine month update. You see, I have been under the weather. Starting Sunday night I started feeling yucky and it escalated to a full on cold by Tuesday. Yesterday when I got home from work I laid on the couch literally until I went to bed. Being sick with a child is much different than just being sick with a husband. It is not all about me. Life moves on, pretty quickly actually, and I had to fend for myself. John was great about having Will the entire day yesterday-they played, ate, bathed, and got to sleep all without momma's help. It made me so sad when Will would crawl over to the couch and pull up to where I was laying and just give me those puppy dog eyes, as if he were saying "Momma why aren't you loving on me?" I am still stuffy today but I suppose I will live. I will get to work on the other posts, but for now, this is what it is like for us right now in the world of stage 3 foods...
Not pretty. Will has always loved to eat. As I have mentioned previously, the only thing we cannot get him to eat is peas. Until now. I guess it is the thickness and texture of the stage 3 food but he is not pleased. We gave him Whole Wheat Pasta Paremesan Sunday night and this is the result. The first few bites he just took because I guess he was hungry. Then he began spitting them out before even attempting to swallow. I tried to give him green beans and fruit in the middle but those came out too. Eventually he would not take anything on a spoon on Sunday night because he thought it was the pasta. Notice his shirt is severely stained, and this was after cleaning him up twice. So with me not feeling good and Will screaming to the top of his lungs, I decided it wasn't worth the battle....so wholesome puffs and yogurt melts became dinner! He loves feeding these to himself and he has gotten quick! Looks like I will now have to be figuring out meals that all of us can eat for dinner. I think he is over the baby food-I can't really blame him.

You will see that it won't take him long to figure out table food and he will like it much better. Cole never ate Stage 3 and Owen wasn't crazy about it. I hate you aren't feeling well. I was going to call because I never saw the photos from the party and was wondering what happened. Hope you feel better soon.
Sad...I didn't know you were sick! I guess I should have figured that after your text message - no fun! If it makes you feel any better, that little boy is just too stinkin cute!! Love y'all!
Jack never ate Stage 3. I only stopped buying Stage 2 veggies 2 weeks ago when I realized that he eats regular veggies at school. So...now...we barter. It's horrid, but it's worked with every kid. You want bread...green bean first. You want pasta...carrot first. Sigh..."no fights at meals" is what the literature promotes. I have yet to find the mom who has mastered that and has a kid who isn't picky. argh!
