Oh Happy Day!

Oh Happy Day, Oh Happy Day!

Lex, our youngest (for those not in-the-know, Lex will be 12 months in July), is finally wanting more solid foods rather than the strained-crud they serve as baby foods. No more formula, now he gets real milk!

Today we fed him Mac n' Cheese (from a box) and tuna salad... and he loved it! Tonight we had some orzo as a side, and he loved that.

This is great. Formula runs around $25 a week for Lex, and food for the week probably runs around another $10 a week (or more). Saving approximately $140 a month on our food budget is fantastic, and the fact that Lex is loving the food we're making is beyond fantastic; we shouldn't need to adjust our menus too much as he gets older.

Heck, at this point he's less picky than I am since he likes seafood!

The best thing is watching him take a bite of whatever we're feeding him, and then watch him smile, start nodding his head, and say "Good!"

Now we just need to get through all this stuff with his blocked tear duct (first appointment with Children's Hospital is Thursday) and we'll be set!
