8 Months





Isota is eight months old today! Here is the celebratory baked good for the occasion...vegan, wheat free chocolate chip bars. (with some totally random old leftover frosting from the fridge on top because the frosting I made from my Babycakes cookbook - where I got the bar recipe - is completely tasteless and no fun. I really want to love that cookbook but it is getting increasingly difficult to do so. I digress.) Sorry, Isota dear...Mommy can be a fun baker but mostly tries to stay health conscious. I swear I will loosen up and make you yummy things when you are old enough to appreciate it. I promise to use real butter and real sugar and not hide vegetables inside a cake. Joe is already worried I am going to be the soccer mom who shows up at the games with carrot muffins or something when it's my turn to bring snacks.

AnyWAY...Isota spent a great deal of her first day of being eight months old by biting me. A lot. On my legs when we were playing, on my neck and shoulders when I would pick her up, all over. She is getting two new teeth and they are really starting to hurt ME!

  1. Very cute! Happy 8 months! I can't believe it!! How's that chew thing working out? What kind of fruit do you stick in there? I just noticed them at Target not too long ago. When did you start giving it to her?

  2. She loves the mesh feeder! We started giving her that around 6 months, I think...so Max should be coming up on that, right? It is absolutely great for frozen chunks of fruit for teethers. I have put grapes, melon, peach chunks in there with lots of success. Watermelon is a total juicy mess but it's her favorite. Oddly enough Isota doesn't seem to like more "normal" baby fruits like bananas, pears, and apples but I keep trying those too. I know some babies who haven't really liked the mesh feeders but we LOVE it. Highly recommended!

  4. Alice! Yep, she has two bottom center teeth, two top front teeth, and now the two on the opposite sides of the top fronts are coming in. Aaaaah! Good thing she is so cute so I can stand the biting. :) How is Lenny?? I can't wait to see you guys! Let's do something soon. Petra's, hopefully?

  5. Oh wow, she's doing a sterling job on those chompers! Lenny has three in a row along the bottom - looks v weird but supercute. If Petra's doesn't work out we have to figure something out soon - Dan's traveling a lot but i am always up for fun.
