Let’s see here. What’s changed since the last time I wrote? We had a great, prolonged visit from my inlaws, Granna and Pa (Ami calls them Geeka and Pa, or often her own portmanteau GeekaPa). Ami has had TWO stomach bugs, one of which poor Geeka caught while they were in town. We created a…
Today with a Nineteen Month Old
Well well well! We’re here, we’re alive, we’re thriving, and I actually feel like writing something! In fact, I feel like stealing a page from the lovely Lindsay over at Apron Adventures and writing up a Day in the Life style post! I’m considering this more a journaling type post, so please excuse this totally…
Sick pickle
Poor babaloo. We managed to make it ALMOST to a year without babygirl being sick once, but somehow in the last six weeks she’s been sick almost constantly. First one cold, then another, then a stomach bug (possibly the norovirus that I hear is everywhere this winter) and now ANOTHER cold that managed to turn…
10(.5) Months!
Babaloo. You have me in awe. 10.5 months and you are just an explosion of movement. Every day you stand on your own, for longer and longer stretches and more and more often. You sit and spin around on your butt, using your legs to trace wide circles. You squat, unsupported, playing. Today, you bear-crawled…
Dinner
Dudes and lady-dudes, Babaloo DESTROYED this whole tray of food last night. I was shocked—I’d really thought Dada was over-serving her when he set the tray on the table. We’ve offered chicken a number of times, but this was the first time that she really ate a good bit of it, shredding and gnawing with…
8 months!
Well, baby girl. When you were seven weeks old, back in January, I went to my first breastfeeding support group (no, I have no idea why I waited so long. I should have started going IMMEDIATELY). There was a woman there with a baby who was 8 months old. I looked at this baby, then…
Eating at Month 8!
I’m sort of putting together a post about flying with Babaloo, who’s now been on two airplane trips! That will have to come another day, though, since right now I’d like to babble a little more about food. Feeding is continuing to go well. Two months (and a smidge) into experimentation with solids, and we…
Babaloo goes Fancy-loo
Last Saturday was our eleventh anniversary! Because, somehow, over the years, we have become old. We had a lovely weekend. Dinner with friends on Saturday, a baby playdate Sunday, and then we took babaloo out for a fancy meal at Launderette. We hadn’t done a nice meal out with baby since good friends of ours came into…
Baby Led Weaning, the early days
Warning: this post about babies eating features pictures of… babies eating. I agree that pics of babies eating that AREN’T my baby are gross, but I will say that these aren’t as… graphic as some I’ve seen. Those will come later (after we introduce spaghetti and tuna fish sandwiches). Part of the fun (and the odd…
6 months!
Well, little otter pup, little babaloo, little hoss-baby, you’re six! Months old. A (half) year. And we’ve kept you alive, and not only alive, but THRIVING.
