Days with Daddy & Walkers

So, yesterday you got to spend the WHOLE day with daddy!!!! He didn't have to work yesterday, so you guys got to do lots of errands INCLUDING meeting me for lunch!!!! Do you know where we went?? We went to this place called Riverside Cafe. It's Korean and delicious! I can't wait to take you back when you can actually eat the food! There were no booths left, so we actually sat on the floor! They had low tables with pillows set up...it was perfect for us!!!!

After work, I met you and daddy at Tire Discounters because daddy had a flat tire. :( I picked you guys up and we headed to the gym where I found out that you had walked nearly 20 feet in the baby walker in a minute and a half!!!! I swear you're going to walk before you crawl!!!! Haha!

Now it's Friday the 13th and Grandma & Grandpa Rosen are coming to visit! We'll pick them up from the airport tonight and then go to dinner.

Before that...daddy left me a list of stuff to do! I think he is trying to keep us from the mall!!!! (We'll show him!)

Love you!!!

P.S.
You're 22wks today!!!!!!!!

Someone Likes Sweet Potatoes!!

So, we tried some rice cereal and sweet potato again tonight and you LOVED it!! I sat you in the bumbo chair, and you kept opening your mouth and leaning towards the spoon! You've only had the rice cereal + sweet potato 2x and so far, no side effects! Maybe we'll try another veggie next week!!!

Guess who's coming to visit you this weekend...Grandma & Grandpa Rosen!!!!! They are so excited to see you!!!!

Sweet Potatoes!!!

Today, I thought I would buy you some "yummy" vegetables...sweet potatoes and squash. The dr. thought it would be a good idea to start with veggies, and then progress to fruits! Since you're not quite 6 mo yet, I'm just giving you little tastes here and there. You fit almost all the criteria for eating rice cereal and/or baby food, like sitting supported (and sometimes sitting alone), and having an interest in food when we eat, like leaning towards the food or staring at it as it enters our mouth. So...I mixed in a little sweet potato with your rice cereal and boy did you LOVE it!!!! You immediately went towards the bowl and tried to put your face in it. You held the spoon and just licked the food!!

So, we'll keep trying the sweet potatoes for about 5 days before introducing other foods to see if you have an allergy or other reaction to it. Hopefully you don't because sweet potatoes are DELISH!!!!

Lunch Dates & Weight Checks

Today, I took you to the gym where you played in the playroom with all the other babies, and then we went for a walk-in weight check at Motherhood Express (the scary lactation place...Ahhh!!) You weighed in at a whopping 15lbs 4.8 oz, and measured about 26in in length!!! NOT TOO SHABBY!!! You're growing like a weed! Did you know that when I was your age, I was shorter in length and weighed more!! What a little piggy your mommy was...haha!!

After the weight check, we went to meet my friend, Ashley, and her son, Paxton, who is 7wks old! Of course we met at Kenwood Mall, our favorite place to shop/eat!!

When we got home, there was a BIG package from Grandma & Grandpa Rosen! It was full of clothes and toys!!!!

Tonight we are going to stop by our friend's (Tim) surprise birthday party. We're just going to stop by for a few minutes because it's a grown-up party. After that, I think daddy is taking us out for Japanese!!! YUM!!!!

21 Weeks!!

Today you are 21 wks old!!! We met my friend, Sarah, today for lunch. And then we went shopping. We're going shopping again tomorrow with my friend, Ashley, and her son, Paxton!!

We tried rice cereal again last night, but you weren't really into it. A few days prior, you actually seemed to really like it and were reaching for the spoon. When you're 6mo, we're going to try some actual baby food. The doctor suggested starting with green and yellow veggies, and then moving to fruit. I've heard that some people mix in baby food with the rice cereal. We'll try whatever you like!!!

You're eating A LOT more these days. Before, you were mostly a snacker, not really taking a full bottle. BUT NOW, whoosh...you can down an 8oz bottle of formula like it's your job!

Well, I just put you to sleep...hopefully!!!! I don't hear you kicking your legs...ah, I spoke too soon. You just made a sound! Speaking of, I LOVE your sounds!! Warms my heart!

Love you, sweet girl!

2nd Attempt at Rice Cereal

Well, we tried rice cereal again tonight and I think you liked it. I can't tell if you liked the taste, or you liked playing with the spoon. Everytime I put the spoon in the bowl, you seemed to open your mouth and almost lean towards the spoon, as if you already knew that this is how to eat!

You're growing up so quickly, I can't believe it!!!! Slow down a bit, okay???

Love you!!!

20 wks (5mo) & Rice Cereal

Well, you're officially 5 mo old (at least in terms of wks!)!! Still no teeth sitings, however;
you're still putting everything in your mouth and drooling like crazy!!

Today, we gave you a little bit of rice cereal. I don't think you liked it all that much...you made silly faces.

Tonight we are going to go watch daddy play hockey with Uncle Grant! We bought you baby Uggs (or F'uggs..hehe..Target brand, of course

) because it's going to be soooo cold in the rink!

I start my new job tomorrow!! Can't wait! I'll be so much closer to you just in case anything were to happen, god forbid.

Love you, baby girl!!
