We did it! A special trip out was made from my parents’ house, specifically to purchase baby rice cereal. (Apparently Heinz has bought the Pablum name, because this box of deliciousness affiliated itself with both.) I know I said avocado, but I guess I’m just more comfortable with tradition – almost everyone says to start…

The Solids Odyssey
He must be ready – all the signs are there. He watches the journey from fork/bowl/fingers/spoon to mouth, he reaches for it and grabs if he can.

Friends Are Nice
The Grand Opening Pampered Chef cooking show was a success! That is to say, people came, we chatted, we made food, we used fun tools, guests bought products, and the Three-Cheese Garden Pizza was delicious.

But then, sometimes what the Baby Whisperer would call “Accidental Parenting” comes into play. E is five months…
Actually, it's November 8th. Today.
I don’t know why, but my blog records all my posts as a day later than they actually are. Like somehow I can see into the future? Write the future? (“It’s like I have ESPN or something!”) So today is November 8th, and my little baby (“E”) is five months old. Already! And he truly…

Secret’s out! That is to say, my lovely blogtacular sister knows I have a blog, because I commented on her blog while (b)logged in as my blogself. And then she wrote about it on Facebook, so who knows who will know next?? Funny, because I was already thinking about writing today about how I’m not…
A few of today's thoughts
It occurs to me that I might seem conceited to choose the user name dilovely. I wanted to emphasize the love part, since I’m very aware of love, and like to make sure people hear about it when I love them. Okay? Wait, why do I care if the ether thinks I’m conceited? Shoot, I…
