Solid Food. YUMMY YUMMY!

Isha is really enjoying all the new tastes that she is getting to try. She loves peaches, which is what is covering her face in these pictures. Dinner time is always very messy. I have learned to keep a washcloth close by. Isha is learning to use the sippy cup. It is great to see her learning new things. She is very independent and she enjoys doing things on her own. I just have to remember to sit back and let her do things on her own, and if she ends up with more water on her than in her mouth that is just fine. Isha has made a game out of stealing the bowl. I have to stay on top of things otherwise we would have an even bigger mess. I had a great plan for how I was going to keep introducing other new foods, but today we had to change course. Poor Isha hasn't pooped in days so it was off to Kroger for a jar of prunes. I was afraid that she would hate them, but she gobbled them up. And just a word of advice... never wear a white shirt when you feed a baby prunes. Isha has spit up on me twice today and now my shirt is covered in prune stains. Gross!!

Isha Meets The Endo Gang

I am still trying to catch up on some pictures from the Idaho trip. We spent an evening with some of my former coworkers from St. Luke's. Lauren has been a great friend to me. Her and her husband used to watch Stitch for me and she still sends me a birthday card every year. She has also been a great mentor to me in my nursing career. She just retired a few weeks ago and she has a sister that lives here in Virginia, so I am hoping that one of these days we may get to visit again, but it will be here instead of Idaho. Debbie has family here and she came to visit us once when she was in Virginia. It is so cool to have people from home come to visit. Where do I begin with Byron? He has also been a great mentor to me in my nursing career and he has been like a big brother to me. He was always giving me advice, especially when it comes to finances. I was so lucky to have such a great group of people to work with. I hope that someday Isha finds friends and coworkers as great as my friends from St. Luke's!
