She's My Girlfriend

Today we had to say goodbye to Aunt Kath! But, before we did we all took a trip to Babies R Us to check out some car seats. Jake barely fits in his infant one anymore so it was time to check them out. There are so many different brands and types, I didn't know where to start! I finally started to just take them off the shelf and put Jake in them to see. He definitely fits! I found one I really liked, but after doing research it looks like it's not the best one for Jake. It was a First Years one with air side headrests. I'm so stuck! Any of you know the good brands that aren't a Britax? (average cost = $300!) I checked out some Evenflo ones, too that I liked...plus they're on sale!!! :-)

After the store, we went out to Portillo's for some good Chicago food! A lady that worked there thought me and Kath were lesbians. YIKES! She asked me if I needed help carrying my food to the table since I had Jake and I said no thanks, my girlfriend was right over there to help me. She gave me the strangest look and then I realized what I said. Oops!!! How embarrassing!

Then we brought Aunt Kath to the airport. Jake slept the whole way, of course. We said our goodbyes, but we'll be taking a family trip out to Maryland very soon!

Tonight for dinner Jake ate stage 2 foods for the first time. They have a larger amount of food in each container and different varieties such as Apple Sweet Potatoes. Jake ate the entire container and still had his little mouth wide open waiting for more! He is loving the food thing! So, on top of 3 1/2 oz of food, I gave him another container of sweet potatoes that were stage one, which is about 2 1/2 oz! Glad food was on sale today 10 for $10!!

Jake was also introduced to Puffs for the first time. Now that he has some teeth I decided to try them with him. I put one puff in his hand and he didn't know what to do. It ended up in Addy's mouth! So, I put the second one in his mouth myself. He actually started chewing it which I was very surprised about! The puffs instantly start melting in his mouth. I'm so proud of him! BUT, after I gave him puffs (probably about 4), a few hours later he started to get a rash all around his mouth. The puffs have rice in them and I know before his skin would breakout when he ate rice cereal. I've never heard of a baby allergic to rice though. I'm going to see how he looks tomorrow and try puffs again to see if that is really the issue. Poor little guy!

I started packing for St. Lucia tonight and Addy was not happy about it. The pictures above are her trying to find a spot on the bed. The entire time she was sighing and huffing as loud as she could! I swear she's part human!

The video below is of Jake trying out the puffs. Don't mind the outfit! He threw up on his shorts and the red ones were the first pair in the bin!
