For the last time Mom, Gerber ONLY!

I have been trying to get Madison to eat "real" food for the past few weeks now. I've tried mashed up bananas, cooked carrots and watermelon. Each time she spit it out and made a horrible face. The banana actually made her throw up (yeah, it was fabulous). I tried the watermelon IN her actual baby food. She ate the baby food and THEN spit out the watermelon (so smart). A few of my very lovely and talented friends suggested it might be the texture of the food and not the taste. Ok.. well let's try a different route. I picked up some rice cereal and mixed that with mashed up banana's.. here was the outcome. I think the face says it all...

 here it is.. just a simple bowl of mushy bananas

ok.. trying it... and...

ugh.. what IS this stuff, MOM!

nope.. i'm done

Well.. fast forward to this evening for dinner. I decided to cook carrots and mix it with the cereal. I get the cereal from the pantry and I realize I never put it in the bananas! The cereal box was unopened. *DOH!* Basically I gave her bananas mixed with formula. I wondered why is was runny but I just didn't question it further. I guess the "pregnancy brain" continues after birth. So I think we have success with the carrots! See for youself...

Let me introduce myself and my family.....

So I have decided to start a blog. All my friends are doing it and I wanted to feel like I was in the "cool group". haha.. ok not really. This is basically a way for me to look back on my life with a beautiful baby, a goofy dog and a wonderful husband. I will try to update this as much as possible but lets face it.. sometimes life is just life and not much is going on. I am sure it will be witty, sad and happy but mostly real. Having a family is not all rose petals and rainbows, and if you think life is like that then this blog is not for you. I am going to warn you that I am a horrible writer. My thoughts get easily jumbled and my grammar and punctuation are horrible. If you can tolerate that then come on in, hold tight and enjoy the ride..... here is a quick intro on who we are.

Cyrena and Matt aka "Mom and Dad" Damon aka "the bubeeze" aka "the big brother"

And of course... little miss attitude herself.. Madison aka "McMuffin"

Please bare with me while I figure out the wonderful world of blogging.
