baby food

i kind of forgot to blog about this until i was scrolling through photos...
these pictures melt my heart.
he loves being a big brother (most of the time).
and she thinks he is just WONDERFUL (all of the time).

it was totally random one evening when we were just about done with dinner,
and ben grabbed her spoon and started to feed her.
i was trying to get the dishes cleared from the table,
and I believe jake was refilling a drink for ben.
once we realized how much she loved him feeding her,
and how proud ben was to help take care of her,
we thought "why didn't we try this sooner!"

and then ben took a few shots...

so glad i grabbed the camera!

There is no way I can open my Etsy shop this week...

I am disappointed, but there is no way - even if I stayed awake for the next 36 hours. July was even busier than I expected and with Jake super busy meeting deadlines at his job, I've had to do a little adjusting lately. I AM still going to keep focusing and working toward opening my shop, while I continue to do my best as wife and mom. I hope to be celebrating the delayed GRAND OPENING within the next couple of weeks.
