The Best Bottle

These bottles are the BEST ever!!! I decided to just post about them because whenever I use them in public people ask me where I got them. I remember using these with my brothers when they were little. When we started to feed Luke cereal and baby food I got frustrated and searched high and low for these bottles. I finally found them on Amazon. They are called Sassy Baby Food Nursers. You just pour in a jar of baby food and they can drink it like a bottle. The disk in the bottom of the bottle works like a vacuum and sucks the food up for them. You can also stick your finger through the hole in the bottom and push the disc up. They are great when you are out and about or when you first start introducing baby food. A six month old and a spoon just don't go together!

A Little Too Close?!?!

Luke has loved TV since he was two months old. Now his goal is to be as close to the TV as possible. Sometimes he will pull himself up to the TV and try to grab the characters. His favorite shows right now are Special Agent Oso, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Baby Signing Time. When I get sick of those shows we watch Charlie and Lola.

Sweet Cake Bake Shop

My cute cousin just opened a bakery named Sweet Cake Bake Shop. Everything is gluten free but you would never know. Luke and I stopped by today and got a coconut and a chocolate cupcake. Sadly the red velvet were gone. Luke liked it a little too much. When we were done sharing the coconut cupcake he threw it up all over my shoes. Not the best idea to give a ten month old a cupcake. It's just hard to say no when they're flapping their arms and grunting for more!

Quick Thank You Idea

I needed a quick thank you for the hosts of our ward progressive dinner last week. I found this cute sour cream container idea. They were super fast and easy. I started with a 5"x6" piece of cardstock and glued it into a tube. I then stapled the ends together making sure they were pinched in the opposite direction of each other. To hide the staples and ends I glued a folded 1" strip of paper. Inside is a yummy treat to say thanks!!!

Valentine Project

My mom has been going to this wood store since I was a little girl. We just rediscovered it and are loving it!!! They have tons of unfinished wood projects for great prices. Here are a few things that my mom, Jessica and myself did for Valentines. Now we need to head out to Wood Connection and get going on our Easter projects!

Valentine Centerpieces

This Friday our ward is doing a progressive dinner. It has been an organizational nightmare. I found this cute idea on a blog for centerpieces. They came together really easy...which is good thing since I had to make twenty of them. The dinner should be lots of fun. I think Luke is excited to have his mom back when it is over!

First Valentine's Day

Luke's first Valentine's Day was pretty fun! We had heart shaped french toast for breakfast. Breakfast is Luke's favorite meal of the day. Actually, anything with raspberry jam is his favorite! For dinner we went to Grandpa and Grammy's house. Grandpa and Grandma Talbot gave Luke a cute card, but all he cared about was the candy inside. He wouldn't even open his other present. The candy was all he needed! My mom makes the same meal on Valentine's Day! We had stroganoff because that's what she made my dad on the Valentine's they go engaged. She also makes this heart shaped cake that I love. I always looked forward to it when I was little because it was the only time we had it! It was a great Valentine's Day with my two guys! Love you two!
