Baby Bullet
Yes I bought the baby bullet. No it wasn't on an infomercial. It was on sale up here at Canadian Tire for $20 cheaper then it usually is. I bought it well before Zayah would be able to eat baby food but I can't pass up a sale.
It comes with a booklet that tells you what foods are ok to introduce at what ages. So the first things I bought were a zucchini, a sweet potato, and an avocado. I only bought one of each. 1 zucchini can fill 5 baby food jars. 1 Sweet Potato can fill up 10 baby food jars! I haven't done the avocado yet but Zayah LOVES the zucchini and the sweet potato! YAY!
Sweet Potatoes boiling to make them soft before they get blended.
These are the jars that come with the baby bullet and they are full of zucchini. They have a date strip on the top that you can turn to the date you made the food so you don't forget. They can last 3 days in the fridge and 30 days in the freezer!
My favorite things about making my own baby food are, first of all, that it is cheap! And second of all you don't add anything extra to the food! You just blend up a vegetable and add the amount of water it says to add and Voila! Done!
And Zayah likes what she has eaten so far so double bonus!!!

Documenting
Some of these pictures are duplicates so sorry about that but I have things on my Calendar that I need to get down before I forget.
Zayah celebrated her first Canada Day..
At the end of June Zayah was going through a big growth spurt. She wanted to eat every 2 hours and I would nurse her and she would be hungry for another 3 ounces of formula. So Judy suggested that even though she isn't 6 months yet she might need some rice cereal to help get her full.
On July 2, 2011 we put Zayah in her highchair for the first time and gave her rice cereal for the first time. I didn't even have baby bowls and only had one random baby food spoon so we had to use a tupperware bowl until I went to the store to get some more supplies.
First bite
Zayah's first messy food face. :)
We also started putting rice cereal in with her formula to give her some more food. I am still nursing her occasionally but only if she wakes up in the night and like 1 other time during the day. Other than that she is on bottles and food.
Something else on my calendar, not about Zayah; Chase's brother Levi and his wife Robbyn had a new baby on July 6, 2011. They named him Cooper and it's their 1st boy after having 2 girls. He is adorable.
On July 12, 2011 Aunt Channing blended up a banana and we gave Z that. This is her face during... :) hahah
This is just plain adorable
Z's first time up Bears Hump, July 5, 2011
Too much playing in the sun = passed out and drooling on her pillow. :)
Her new little dress she wore to church for the first time this month.
On the Rowe Lake hike with her Dad
Just driving us around Waterton. ;)
Cute little Grammy J with Z.
After her bath... cutie
When John's family was in town we swam at the Beazer hole and Zayah loves to go in the water even though it's freezing! and she doesn't even cry!! She is Canadian Baby for sure..
In all the way up to her chest and she just sat with me in the water...
First set of shades... and she left them on too so bonus!

First set of shades... and she left them on too so bonus!We have incorporated baby food into her diet to keep her full now as well.
On July 14th she had Zucchini for the first time and loved it!
On July 15th we tried Sweet Potatoes and she liked them too!
We finished out the zucchini, waited a few days and then finished out he sweet potatoes. She has always been such a good eater and has pretty much taken anything we have given her.
That is it for now...

CANADA DAY!!!!!!!
Canada Day is on July 1st and we always celebrate big!! Plus this was Zayah's first Canada Day and her Aunty Leslie had made her a very festive outfit!
Our little fam on Canada Day!
I found this maple leaf headband just days before Canada Day and wanted it for some pictures with Z.
Adorable if you ask me. 
Then we switched to the white headband and maple leaf clips. Maple leaf clips also made by Aunt Leslie!
Nikki gave me a Canada pedicure.
Every July 1st at the Mountain View Church they have a program, then we go over to the school for some races and games for all ages, with prizes and fun! This is Joni and Eli at the program.
My Dad was in charge of the program this year and wanted it to be simple, acoustic, about the area, but also fun. This is the Lee kids singing 'Whacka Do' and Henry did awesome singing! 
Sue sang a song from the musical 'Wicked' and she did so good as well!! I liked this song!
My Dad sang 'Then They Do' by Trace Atkins. He changed the words a little at one part to talk about Joni and her boyfriend and I was up on stage helping with harmony. We were all bawling our eyes out! haha
Joni and I were the closing number and we sang 'The House that Built Me' by Miranda Lambert. I love Love LOVE this song! 
There were about 3 other numbers on the program. Some of Dads old bandmates did some numbers with their kids and by themselves. We got a lot of good feedback about it.
We made it over to the races. Colleen and Tralee had so much fun playing Together as Friends! haha
Joni and Colleen decided to have their own race back at the house.
That evening we did some fishing.
hahah silly Colleen.
Dan patiently waiting for that bite!
Love this picture of my Dad.
After fishing it was back to the yard for a weeny roast and Fireworks!
We watched the fireworks and then headed to bed not too long after. Also in town this trip was my Aunt Venice and Aunt Sherry (Dads sisters). They were staying with Grandma and came out to join us at teh fires and such. It was a great Canada Day! Happy 144th Canada!
