Apricots are yummy


Tonight we gave Lukas a small piece of fresh apricot in a mesh baby
feeder. He got the hang of the device right away, sucking on it
like a champ. You can see apricot juice on his shirt - I hope it
comes out! We are so new to this, we forgot we should use a bib.
Still trying to hold out on major food items until 6 months, but
Lukas is very anxious to try food, he tries to grab at plates and
is very very interested in what we are eating. I hope a little here
and there once a week is okay for his tummy.
I had to make a phone call related to the Portland Law librarians
conference (we are going up to Portland for the weekend in mid-
July) this evening, so my sister took Lukas out on the porch to
hang out. We bought him his own special chair for porch sitting,
and he likes it very well.
We got blueberries in our organic food delivery box this evening,
so made blueberry pancakes for dinner. I made a quick apricot jam
with all the apricots my friend picked up for me at the
Alameda farmers market last Thursday. Super delicious!
If there are more apricots this Thursday, I'll buy a whole bunch
and make some jam and can it for the rest of the year. I love
apricot jam and store bought never even comes close to home made.
We didn't do much tonight, just came home, made dinner, cleaned,
watched a tiny bit of TV, played a little, then off to bed for Lukas.
