Peas

Tonight we gave Addie peas for the first time. Auntie Angie was here so she fed them to her!! It was hilarious! Addie would lean into them and then once they were in her mouth, she made some sour puss faces. She ate everything in the little bowl we had for her, so that is good, but she continued to make the faces. I even got a little video of it!!


She really likes eating "solids"! So far she's tried: rice cereal, prunes, apples, applesauce, peaches, sweet potatoes and peas. The only thing she doesn't like is the cereal. We're going to mix it with the prunes to see if that helps, but I'm not concerned about it. This is a picture of Addie eating the sweet potatoes - isn't it fitting that she had on her "i love auntie" bib in honor of Maria? Though I think Maria might like brown sugar a little more than sweet potatoes! :)


Another thing she really likes to do is pick things up and put them in her mouth! She JUST started doing this when we were at dinner with Bruce and Sharon. I am not even kidding, she wasn't interested in toys or picking them up during the day, then we met them at 5pm and something had clicked! She was picking up her toy, putting it in her mouth and biting down!! While I was at Target today, I help up about 10 toys in front of her (to see if she liked any of them) and she didn't do anything. Right when I was about to call it a day, I picked one last toy up and she got all excited, reached for it, then immediately put it in her mouth! She didn't put it down until we got home!!

I went to Target today to get her a little baby pool. It has been pretty warm here and we've wanted one for a while, but I finally got it today. It's not big enough for us to sit in, but we can sit close enough to the sides that it's close enough. It's a little blow-up pool but we had her in it for almost an hour. She was sitting, standing, even laying in it!! She doesn't like to get her ears wet though. I don't have pictures of the event because, since she can't sit yet, I didn't want to risk her slipping while I was taking a picture :(


When Addie wakes up in the morning, I let her talk for a while. I can either sleep - really lightly - through it, or I wake up and take a shower before I go in and get her. It's really sweet to hear! She just talks and talks and sometimes hits her aquarium and then talks to it while the little fish 'swim' by. Then, when I am ready to get her, or I notice she is starting to whine because she's hungry, I peek inside the doorway. I get her attention and she smiles and smiles, sometimes giggles until I go pick her up. I love our mornings together!
