And then one morning it was OCTOBER!!!!

      Do you ever feel like time just flies?? This is so how I feel right now. I swear I was just in the hospital giving birth and now I have a 3 month old!! I keep trying to tell him that he's not allowed to grow anymore... we're still working on the whole listening thing... But Eric had a big mile stone today!! He had his first ever solid food! Peaches and rice cereal for 2nd Lunch and Peas and rice cereal for 2nd dinner!! He was so funny eating them! I seriously wish I would've had a camera with me. He would make a face like he was trying to figure out what I was feeding him and then laugh and gobble it all up. It was so cute! Currently we are just making his baby food from either frozen veggies that I already have or from fruits that I canned. I totally prefer making his baby food this way because then I know EXACTLY what is in it and I know it's ALL good for him.

       Currently my little angel is snuggling with his daddy and loving his thumb (or middle two fingers, which ever he can get into his mouth first). It used to worry me when he started doing that, because I thought it meant he was hungry. and then he started doing it right after having eaten and spit up. So now it know it's just a comfort thing, and just makes me smile.

       Anyways to play catch up, Matt and I have been doing great. Just keeping busy being new parents, going to school, working, sewing clothes for Eric and teaching sewing classes. All of which has been wonderful!! (except the homework part of school...) Eric has started to sit up on his own a little, so we've been letting him sit up more and just put his boppy/nursing pillow around him so that if he does fall he doesn't get hurt. He has loved being able to sit up and see the world. And I've loved that I can do more now that I can just let him sit up and look around at the world. Other then that, we've just been watching our little baby grow into a little boy.

      Oh as a side note, We are going to be a Jedi family for Halloween. I told Matt that it couldn't really work because Jedi aren't allowed to get married... but he just laughed and said "Well, fine we can be bad Jedi then."    Silly Hubby...
