Baby food!

Alexandra started eating baby cereal right around 6 months. I decided to make my own baby food for her instead of buying the kind in jars. It's healthier (I do as much organic stuff as I can), cheaper, fresher, and a lot more fun for me! She's turned out to be a great eater, which is wonderful. Also, her sleep has been getting better too, which means that Christopher and I are (hopefully) no longer on "survival mode," but can actually feel like we have a life balance and enjoy things again. We've gotten a bit neater at eating, but here's a wonderful shot of my precious little girl after having sweet potatoes and bananas mixed with baby oatmeal.

Her eating might be tied to her sleeping better. I think a full tummy makes her tired. To illustrate, here she is on our Christmas morning (back home, so actually a couple of days after Christmas).

Baby food is awesome!
