Making some baby food!

So I finally got my act together and started making baby food. I am a little bit of a perfectionist at times, so starting something new is pretty hard for me. Sunday I made Matthew sweet potatoes (who knew two potatoes could yield so many ice cubes of food???). That was okay, except I burnt the pan when the water dried up. Stinky! Luckily the potatoes were spared! Yesterday I was feeling ambitious and made both applesauce & pears (or pearsauce according to Nicholas). Nicholas helped & Matthew mostly screamed. Not sure what his deal was yesterday afternoon, but he was unhappy! Both purees turned out great and I can't wait until he can try them! I'm still introducing new foods slowly, so he's had peas, squash, and sweet potatoes so far! He seems indifferent to pretty much everything - he loves to eat but doesn't seem to notice/care about the different tastes! I'm wondering if I have another super-hungry boy on my hands. He cries when the food is all gone, leaving me to wonder if he wants more! Guess we'll have to try it and see! Last night, Matthew slept from 7:30pm until 7:20am! Can you believe it???? He's been a great through-the-night sleeper for a while now, but I think this morning I finally realized it!
Nicholas is doing wonderfully as always. He had a great time with our playgroup at Chuck E. Cheese yesterday! Strangely his favorite part was having Chuck E. "draw" our picture. He put one picture on Jason's bedside table and one on mine - so we can see our Nicholas! He is doing AWESOME with his reading lessons - the program is incredible and seems to be a great fit for him! The 20-minute lessons are about all he can handle! We're ready for lesson 31 (out of 100) so he's getting closer every day!
Jason is SO EXCITED that his favorite author, Jeffrey Deaver, will be on the Sprint campus tthis week signing autographs! He is going to buy the newest book & meet Jeffrey Deaver!
Nicholas & I are both nearly out of our sickness. It stayed at our house FOREVER & we're ready to be done!
Less than 9 hours until the BEST CONCERT EVER - that's right - I'm going to see the New Kids on the Block in concert tonight! I know, everyone is SO JEALOUS! I think it will be awesome to hear the old songs (Popsicle?) coming out of the mouths of old men! Anyway, I'll end this post as if I'm 10 again: I LOVE JORDAN!!!!!
