about us

We're from the Syracuse, NY, area and started dating when we went to BYU-Idaho for college. We were married December 2008 and have a daughter, Sophie. We will be welcoming a new baby in November 2013! We currently live in Mason, Ohio, near lots of family! Drew is working at Liberty Mutual Insurance as an Auto Claims Adjuster. Carissa is now a stay-at-home wife and momma! We know there's more in store for us in our future, and we say, "Come what may and love it!"

baby cereal!

One week before Sophie turned 5 months, Soph's doctor suggested we start her on baby cereal! So we bought some rice cereal, mixed it up with some breast milk, and fed it to our little one. She didn't quite like it...

On top of Sophie not being a fan of rice cereal, it stopped her up for 7 days! She was in pain and was very cranky! During that time, we gave Sophie pureed prunes and warmed up baby juice. Not bad. A few days after her bowel problem was resolved, we tried some baby oatmeal (giving her a little more fiber to help things move along). She actually seemed to like it! The second night, she even wanted more after she finished her little bowl full. Our baby is getting so big... she can even eat solids! WHAT?!



Super cute, right?! She loves her food!

In addition to baby cereal, Sophie has since added in baby food veggies. YUCK! I divvy up each jar into thirds, giving her one third each day. The first night she didn't like her sweet potatoes at all! The second night she couldn't get enough of them fast enough! The third night she liked them at the beginning then started spitting them out. The same thing has happened with green beans. We'll see how peas go!
