As the title of this post suggests, not much is happening around here. Jonah’s now eaten peas and butternut squash, both with great success. Note to Emily & Steven (if he ever reads this): butternut squash is practically without color and doesn’t seem to stain clothes easily. Remember that whole, “We never soak anything, because nothing gets stained”? Well things get stained now. Peas stain. Avocado stains. Sweet potato stains. I guess we need to discuss soaking some stuff.

Anyhoo – he’s eating like a champion, AND he finally has a baby spoon. I’m not sure how we/I overlooked this key piece of gear, but I did. I probably figured we wouldn’t need it until October, but old starve-o needs his grub. I ordered a wooden Spuni. (http://spuni.com/products/wood-spuni) It’s crafted in Vermont from maple, and it’s a cool shape that helps babies latch or something. I think it’s BEAUTIFUL, and Jonah and Janet both like it a bunch.

We’ve found a sitter! Narinder is an acquaintance/soon to be friend of Sarah’s whom Janet has met a couple of times. She teaches yoga and provides some elder care to her neighbor. She has a long history of nannying and babysitting, and when she heard we needed someone one or two days a week for a few hours, she offered up her services. She came to the house to meet Jonah and George (and me), and Jonah took to her immediately. He even threw up on her. What a charmer. We’re looking forward to not having to worry about childcare moving forward, as we discussed our calendars until the end of the year!

That’s all for now. I’m off to bed.
