Along Came Aubrey: Table Food

Daddy woke up early on Monday and took off for the lovely Las Vegas for 4 days so it was a week of just Aubrey and I. We miss Daddy like crazy when he is gone, but I will say that I LOVE having the alone time with Aubrey for her and I to get some one on one time together. We make the most of it!

Aubrey is pretty much on a table food only diet now. We still eat some of the homemade baby food once in awhile, but Aubrey loves being independent and eating things herself. She is still loving all fruits, cheerios and puffs. We will have to start her on an iron-fortified diet soon because we need to raise her iron levels. Next week we will start eating beans, greens, tofu, red meat, etc. We shall see what Aubrey enjoys!

I have been busy preparing for Aubrey's first birthday party, finding all sorts of fun things. I spent the day making a paper mache "A" door hanging. Daddy doesn't quite understand the importance of doing all of these little things, but I want to make Aubrey's big day the most special it can be. Our baby only turns ONE once and we are going to make a big deal about it!

Speaking of first birthdays, we attended Lily's 1st birthday party on Sunday. It was so much fun seeing Erica and the fam. Erica's family is always so loving and welcoming. We kept talking about what fun Lily and Aubrey will have growing up together. If they are anything like their mothers, then we know they will have a good time together! Hmmm...maybe daddy better start preparing for the teenager years now. :)
