A couple of snapshots from the last few days:
Have I ever actually been wordless for one of these? Probably not. But I thought a post that highlights photos was a good time to talk about photos. I meant to participate in Project 365 last [...]
 We did baby-led introduction to solids with Meredith, and will do the same with Fiona. Proponents say that this method of introducing foods is more natural and that kids are less likely to be picky about what they eat. One of the keys is to offer variety.
