They don't call it "The Sassy" for nothin' ;)

Two things that were not taught in our birthing class:

1. Figuring out solid foods for your child may be a difficult process. ;)
2. You will need to find different ways to entertain your child as they grow!!

So I received an email from the parent.com addressing the new solid foods I am allowed to feed Blakely. I love these emails because they always include a food item I had no idea I could give Blakes and she ends up loving it! Well, the new food of the week...TOAST! I still have not figured out the exact size of bites I should give her because they either are too big or too small. So of course I thought, well if I give her a bigger piece that she can't fit in her mouth, she will just chew on it...similar to a toy.  HAHA! Ross and I experienced our first scare with chocking! Although it was an extremely scary incident (I shed a tear or two, which probably does not surprise anyone), Blakely seemed to be fine and continued eating her new found love of toast. :)

"Thanks Mom for the bigger piece of toast."

"I'm pretty sure I can fit this entire piece in my mouth!" (ps. Thanks again, Griffin, for my cute Christmas pj's!)

Oh my goodnight, Blakely is quite the mover and groover, which I absolutely love. :)  The other night, in an attempt to entertain her, Ross found the apparatus, The Sassy, we received from our wonderful friends, the Shislers. :) As shown in the pictures, I just don't think our house has high enough peaks for the Sassy, but we sure had fun watching our little Sassy playing in "The Sassy". :)

"I'm too low to the ground since my feet touch, but I'm having fun!"

It's really noticeable in this pic that Blakely seems to be a little heavy on her left side, since Ross had to help her balance. ;)

                                             

Well, there are not too many times we get the chance to just hang out and do nothing around the Reth house,  so when I found these two enjoying a little R & R time I couldn't resist taking a pic. (Also, notice the resemblance ;) )  Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and much love to all! :)
