This post is going to be all baby so you have been warned!
Look who hit seven months yesterday! I love this age/stage that we’re in so much. Finn is so expressive and full of personality, babbling up a storm, playing a lot but not yet moving. I know that life is going to change significantly once he’s really mobile but I’m ready for it!
In the ongoing story of introducing solids, Finn’s favorite food is definitely bread/toast…haha. I can’t blame him. He loves for me to put toast strips on his tray and they go straight in his mouth. I’ve been putting butter or coconut oil on it, or serving it plain. I’ve done wheat bread, pita bread and this was my homemade sourdough. He loves it all. He doesn’t actually eat a lot of it but really enjoys gumming it.
This child is smart. If I try to give him something like a blueberry or a piece of banana, he clamps his mouth shut and turns his head. If I’m holding him and eating a cookie or a Reese’s, he grabs my hand and tries to put it in his mouth. (Obviously, I’m not letting him have it!)
I’ve received so many questions about what approach I’m taking. I’m not following any one approach…just kind of winging it and not pushing it…a mix of baby led weaning and I’ve tried purees. I just find baby led weaning to be so easy because I can give him little bits of what I’m eating.
I received so many recommendations to follow Feeding Littles on Instagram. It’s a great resource and I actually just bought their online course for baby led weaning. It was on sale today $15 off (using code 100KYAY) and I thought it would be a helpful resource and give me some good info, tips and ideas. I’ll be sure to circle back with a review.
I took Finn to see Santa yesterday!
We have the most legit Santa at our local mall. Finn was great with Santa and when I went to take him after the photo, Santa told me he was keeping Finn. He whispered to Finn that they could ride his Harley together and go fishing in his boat. Haha…some kind of sled, huh?
I’m going to keep it short and sweet today! Sending lots of love to all of you.
Tell me about your child’s first Santa visit? Go well or meltdown? Best Santa stories?

Hello my friends! I hope this finds you enjoying all of the beauty and fresh starts that spring has to offer (and not too much of the sneezing and wheezing). Life has been good over here. I’m very much enjoying the longer days, cool mornings and warm afternoons and gorgeous blooms. Spring is so lovely [...]

I cannot believe it’s been nearly a month since I completed Moab Run The Rocks! It’s a three-day stage race in Moab, Utah that’s put on by the same race organization, TransRockies Rockies Race Series, that I did my six-day Colorado race with back in August. TransRockies truly excels when it comes to planning and [...]

I recently spent four nights in Moab, Utah for a three-day stage trail race called Moab Run The Rocks. Since returning home, I’ve been telling everyone I talk to about my trip that they must put Moab on their travel bucket list (43 miles of running not required to have an amazing visit to Moab [...]

This potato and broccoli cheddar soup is a warm hug in a bowl. It’s a mash up of potato soup meets broccoli cheddar soup, and makes for a creamy, hearty and cheesy bowl that has just enough broccoli in it to make you feel like you’re getting your veggies in for a complete meal. POTATO [...]

I am sitting down to write this post with teary eyes and a heavy heart. On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to Zoey. It seems like only yesterday that I brought this fluffy nugget home. Many of you have been here with me since Zoey was a puppy. She was the sweetest little sister [...]
