Georgie will eat it....

Remember the Life cereal character Mikey? Just like him, George will eat just about anything. He loves rice cereal (even with prune juice), peas, acorn squash, and now sweet potatoes! He gobbles it up....can't get enough. Now the question remains, why does he only weigh 13.4 lbs???

Abigail also gave the thumbs up to sweet potatoes. Or perhaps it's just Mommy's cooking. I am making their baby food and loving it!!! I steam the veggies, throw them in the blender with the juice or breast milk or both, and pour it into ice cube trays to freeze. We have ziplocs full of veggie cubes in the freezer. Each morning I pull out the "cubes" for the day and we are in business! I love knowing exactly what is in the food I am giving them...and it's soooo easy! I would highly encourage others to do the same!

George is getting so much stronger. His favorite things to do now are stick his legs up in the air and squeal! Abigail continues to figure out scooting, as she crawfishes on the floor. They are so precious!

Please include Baby Lainey and Baby Bryce in your thoughts and prayers. They are girl/boy twins born to Rita and Kevin at 27.5 weeks gestation. We pray that God will give Lainey and Bryce the strength and courage to keep fighting and developing. We also pray for wisdom and faith to their parents and team of doctors and nurses caring for them. It is a reminder how amazingly precious every life is and to kiss your babies every chance you get. Rita, you are in our thoughts every day!!
