Now that Mason is six months old, we decided it's time to start him on some solid food. He loves sitting up so Mason is really enjoying his new high chair! But as far as food is concerned so far, he's not that into it (well the not eating it part at least). I'm trying to make my own baby food with the Baby Brezza glass food processor.

Bumpdate: 6 Months Postpartum
I can't believe I am sitting here writing a post 6 months postpartum. Where has the time gone??? I feel like I've just blinked my eye and my tiny 4 pound 11 ounce baby is now a little human! While things seem to be moving so fast with Mason, you can read my 6 month update on him here, my postpartum body transformation seems to be moving quite slowly. I had given myself six months to get back into my pre-baby shape and let me tell you, I still have about 11 pounds to go. My bump has gone down sizably but there is still a nice layer ...
