Today I gave Hunter tofu...you heard me, tofu! He cut it up in little pieces, he didn't like it like that so I took a spoonful and dipped it in applesauce...he gobbled it right up. Applesauce seems to be my little trick I have discovered...I have been trying hard lately to get him to eat thicker and chunkier food than just pureed baby food. I also gave him vegetables with turkey baby food, it was quite a bit chunkier than he is normally use to. He gagged with the first few bites, so I dipped it in applesauce and he ate it no problem! What's up with that? I don't get it..Oh well, I'm just happy to be getting some new foods in his tummy and not just stage 1 baby foods. Hmm what to try tomorrow??

we've been outside most days lately...such nice weather we are having...okay, it's a bit too hot for me, but it's worth it when I get to look at this face......even if he wouldn't smile for me.... ; ) He really does LOVE the swings...and he steals my heart, again and again.

another day at the zoo

Hunter and I joined some of the mommies and babies from my mommy group for a fun trip to the zoo. Jeremy and I got a zoo pass which has unlimited access to the zoo and aquarium, this has come in handy so far and I think will be paying for itself in no time. Anyways...we first had a nice little picnic on the grass while the babies played. Hunter is kind of a bully, he grabbed a pacifier out of another babies mouth and then used him to pull himself up-more than once...(and this isn't the first time)... It's kind of hard to punish a 9 1/2 month old for that behavior though...hmm. We checked out some of the animals, by then though all the babies were in their strollers zonked out or about to pass out. Oh but not my Hunter! He wasn't having it in the stroller, I ended up putting on my baby carrier and he finally passed out in that. I didn't get very many pics but here are a few..enjoy.

waiting for his friends to arrive

yes, he does normally wear pants...we had a bit of an accident and mom didn't bring a change of clothes!! OOPS!

would you like some puffs??

Hunter and Preston in their matching hats

holy 1978!!!!!!!!

Since when did t.v. dinners start looking so retro???? Hopefully they don't taste like they were made in 1978...

You may think it's strange to take a picture of a shopping cart, but for me this is big news! I practically live at Target....and after my my last trip there where my cart WHEEL FELL OFF while I had Hunter in the seat, I was praying they would get new carts. So I show up to Target today and voila! To my surprise I see these new and beautiful, yes I said beautiful, carts. Tons and tons of them. My cart pushed so smoothly, all of the wheels turned perfectly...and at the same time too! Sad that this makes me happy, I know..hehe. By the way, Hunter would normally be in the cart here but he stayed at home with Dad and napped....Oh and did I mention, Target is now carrying groceries???! Very cool...

the new and much improved Target cart....
