We are Here!

We have made it to Memphis. It was a crazy getting here! We had to load a moving van in a snow storm! Thankfully we had family and friends to help us out. I do not recomend anyone ever trying to pack up in a snow storm if you don't have to. However, we had to. Now we are just trying to get settled in here in Memphis. We had to rent a storage unit to hold our things since we are staying with my parents until our house sells. Thankfully they had room here for us, that way we do not have to worry about 2 house notes. We did bring Amber's entire room to my parents house and then all our clothes, and other things to my parents house. It is going to take some time unpacking everything but it will get done. We are excited to start this chapter in our lives and wonder where it will take us. It is weird thinking this is where we live again. Ricky and I keep thinking we are just visiting, it really hasn't sunk in yet. So far of course Amber is loving all the attention she is getting! :)

Food!

Since I have quit working, I am able to feed Amber more, and boy did she need it! I think she was probably ready for solid foods or more of solid foods way before now. Since I have been home I feed her solids 3 times a day. She eats oatmeal in the morning, carrots and lunch and tonight for dinner she had carrots and rice cereal. She loves the carrots!! I'm so proud that she does. Hopefully this trend will continue will all her veggies. Ricky is really picky with veggies but I love just about anything! Next I think we will try green beans. And I am hoping to make all her food. I will buy some jar for emergencies or convenience if we are out somewhere. It is so easy to make the food. Just steam it, then puree it. I have a blender that has a puree setting. I am hoping that one day a week I will just make a whole bunch and get stocked up. I haven't yet since we are in the middle of packing and fixing to move.

This time next week we will have moved our lives back to Memphis. I'm so excited that Amber will get to be around her grandparents and all the fun things she will get to do with them.

Anyway, if you have any tips/tricks on baby food do share!
