1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NRSV) It isn’t often enough that I talk about faith and the power of prayer. Wait, wait… let me rephrase that: It isn’t often that I talk about faith and the power of prayer. I shy away from the topic because it’s a personal thing, and I…
Let’s Call A Do-Over
I gotta tell ya, transition to solid foods wasn’t as smooth sailing as I thought (check out my half-way-failed-attempt here). Since Quincy loved solid food for three days, and then abhorred them for the following week, I had to call a Do-Over. I halted the whole solid foods stuff, switched back to…

Q2: 6 Months!

First Tastes: Food for Baby, Food for Thought
Instead of buying jarred baby food, I thought I’d give making my own baby food a try. Pictured above is some of my “finished product” of baby food – steamed, pureed, frozen in cubes, and then stored in freezer bags. It’s recommended for babies to start solids between 4-6 months…
