On a Happier Note…

Here are two of the videos that show her crawling.

Sam’s First Crawl

Sammy Really Crawling! (Both of our cats are wandering around in this video – hehe)

We are also having fun trying to find new things for her to eat. Our doc said that by 9 months she should be on all people food, and not baby jar food. Ack! I don’t know what to give her for a healthy balanced meal, three times a day?? I have enough problems with my own diet and now I have to figure out hers? Jeez…

Anyway, she loves everything BUT this baby jar pasta dish stuff. Man, she hates that stuff. Not sure why. Everything else we give her she gobbles down but she is starting to slowly show a preferenced.

Like, she used to eat 30 cheerios but now will only eat 3 in the morning. If we give her a cherry puff and a veggie cracker some days she will zero in on the puffs and others on the cracker. It’s funny to see what kind of mood she will be in.

She loves avocado. I just bought string cheese (easier to break off in chunks), bologna, and apple crisps. The apple crisps she had a bad time with because they were huge… and they disolve easy but when you stick the WHOLE thing in your mouth at one time I think that’s a lot of gooey stuff to handle.

So, I dunno. We will see how this whole food thing goes at her 9 month appt. I should probably start trying to figure out how many calories she needs a day… but then I still nurse her, oh, 5 or 6 times a day, so technically that is all the nutrition she needs… besides some iron… but maybe I should cut down on the nursing a little.

Who knows. 🙂 She’s such a happy baby though. We are all having a great time.

oooh, Aidan hated the pasta thing w/spaghetti sauce…anything w/red sauce he has always turned his nose up to.

He loves easy mac, but not the baby meal mac and cheese stuff which is TONS of cheese and barely any pasta…yuck.

The Mott’s applesauce naturals w/no sugar added, etc, etc…loves those too…and they have a summer strawberry one too that Aidan loves. Good for little ones and big kids, and it’s not “baby food” applesauce, it’s the real deal. It’s been a good transition.

Aidan stayed on jar foods longer than 9 months…he was over-zealous w/the food shoving and I was so afraid he’d choke… but now he’s eating all toddler and people food (like the gerber toddler soups, etc).

Wow! It sounds like it! Sam is a big food shover too. She was chewing bologna for a half hour. Tried getting it out of her mouth but that didn’t work. Oh well! I’ll have to check out the applesauce too.
