On The Move: Hungry Baby

This weekend was another filled with activity for B. After a nice dinner at home Friday evening, we headed to the Funky Fish Fry on Saturday with almost the entire family!

B stole the show and a friend's hat! 
Another necessity for days out and about is the Boon Squirt baby food dispensing spoon. You can put whatever food you choose so it is perfect for my homemade concoctions. It can be hard to get the very last bite out, so I usually pack an extra spoon to be sure B gets his fill. It is easy to keep cool in the bottle cooler and is very light weight. It's also dishwasher friendly. We purchased ours for around $10 at Swaddle.

Boon Squirt, baby food to go!

I loaded up the squeeze part (shown here in blue) with a homemade mixture of yellow summer squash and zucchini, some of B's favorite. He enjoyed his veggies, while we loaded up on fried fish and beer from another new brewery, Trim Tab.

B barely made the selfie.
I enjoyed some of the cucumber saison, which was a bit heavy on the cucumber for others. I will admit it did have a faint hint of pickle juice, but nothing that lingered on the palate or was offensive in my opinion. The pale ale was the beer of choice for most, while Dad really enjoyed their version of a less aggressive IPA.

We had a great time hanging out with friends and family. During this time of the year Birmingham has fantastic, family-friendly events at unique places, like local breweries and parks!

The Luck of the Irish

Wishing you always...
Walls for the wind,
A roof for the rain, 
A warm cup of tea by the fire,
Laughter to cheer you, 
Those you love near you, 
And all that your heart may desire.

This was a morning text from Brenda, one of my parent's best friends and my second mother. 

Happy St. Patty's Day. May your day be touched by a bit of Irish luck, brightened by a song in your heart and warmed by the smiles of the people you love! 

Now on to the daily cuteness that is our Mr. B. We had a great weekend celebrating the birth of baby Weston and pretending our last name is O'Seal!
