Wiliam’s doctor had recommended starting him with fruits then exploring vegetables. Today was the day we decided to try his first vegetable. In honor of this milestone, I put him in his Holy Guacamole vegetable onesie, a present from his Godparents, for his playtime before this meal.

I decided to try William’s sippy cup with him again as part of the design to help him be done with bottles by his first birthday as doctor’s recommend. The first time he did not seem to like the cup much, so I thought perhaps with weeks gone by he would be more open to trying.
William has lots of adorable baby clothes. Several months ago we bought some outfits that resemble the Tommy Bahama shirts Matt enjoys wearing. They were too big for William at the time, so I looked forward to him growing into them so I could use them for a beachy, relaxed feel monthly photo shoot. At first, William didn’t seem in the mood for a shoot with that kind of feel.
Several months ago our church’s photographer, Bonnie, had sent me an email telling me to make sure to see her after church as she had something for me. While I considered it was something to do with William, I was absolutely floored by the amazing and perfect book she’d made about his baptism.
Once again a snippet about baby’s development week is rather significant to William’s development. Right now William is for the most part being given only pureed foods. We did give him small crushed up tiny pieces from our lasagna on Mother’s Day, yet besides that we are not trying food from our plates just yet.
I was excited to be celebrating today, my first Mother’s Day officially as a mom. (Last year I’d unofficially celebrated with Matt as a mother-to-be, as we celebrated the moms in our lives.) My phone was inundated with text messages, several were chains of moms wishing each other a Happy Mother’s Day and this special one from Kristi, William’s Godmother.
Last month when William and I met Shauna for lunch , she had shared with me that she and her husband, Jason, were moving to Louisiana. Since they had a few weeks left to move at that point, we invited them over, along with mutual friends Paul and Monica for a combination Cinco de Mayo and Goodbye Party.

There are times when I’m at the grocery store when I have the urge to impulse buy lots of different baby things for William. On Sunday I gave into the impulse and bought a Munchkin Fresh Feeder that I’d read a bit about online.
Years before Matt and I moved in together, I adopted Inky, a wonderful cat. She took well to roommates I had before then, and took to Matt instantly. We didn’t know how long it would take to warm up to William, yet we were confident it would happen. They are definitely both very curious about each other.

William had been having banana for two days and seemed to enjoy it. However, he seemed to be having issues with digesting it, so perhaps going straight to bananas was harsh on his stomach. So, Matt bought him some organic purees which were to be easier on his journey to be eating more solids.
