Newness

A few weekends ago we headed up to Placerville so that I could have a Father/Daughter snowboard day, and while I was up getting my butt kicked by some deep heavy snow, Finn got to spend the morning relaxing with Nana.

Hi Nana!

While up in Placerville Finn decided that he liked Nana's hound dog puppet, Butch, so much that he wanted to keep him.  We re-named him Wrinkles because Butch was a little too "butch" of a name for us.  Now if Finn is upset Wrinkle's soft floppy ears help to calm him down.  Thank you Nana!

On top of making a new friend up at Nana & Papa's house, Finn tried his first solid foods as well.  We steamed some carrots and pureed them up, and braced ourselves for a very short feeding.  Surprisingly, Finn loved the carrots and ate up the entire bowl we made for him.

what is this stuff Daddy?

We were expecting Finn to throw a fit during the feeding, but instead he started crying once the carrots ran out and we didn't have anything left to feed him!

"I WANT MORE! WAAAAAA"

I couldn't wait to get back home and start making different baby foods and try them out on my little Hoover.

I went a little overboard at the grocery store; cauliflower, blueberries, peas and carrots.  I also bought sweet potatoes and mangoes.  I will post the pictures of the finished product in a later post with updates on Hoovers likes and dislikes.

I'm going to go soak my legs now, just thinking about all that heavy powder is making my muscles sore!

Peace out,
