And....we're walking


It's official, we are walking everywhere! Forget crawling, that is now for babies, we will walk or run or fall down all the time, but that will not stop us, we just get right back up. So yep, mommy is loving it. She started walking right before her birthday, but just a few steps here and there, but now it's all the time everywhere. Of course this means all new worlds of badness are open to us, she can reach much more and get into everything, but that's okay. She's getting some big teeth in and that with daylight savings time is messing her up. She wakes up in the middle of the night and has to be comforted and then sleeps in until 11! 11 am two mornings in a row, how wierd, but I'm not comlaining, I am one exhausted mommy all the time. This morning when I got off work at 1 am I just could not get to sleep, so finally around 3 I called Stu. (That's 9 am in England) It's been awhile since we talked and I was really missing him. It was great to catch up and he called again about 11 this morning cause we weren't done talking when I got tired at 4 in the morning. So that was really nice and put me in a great mood. When sleeping beauty finally decided to get up we just played and ate a little breakfast. I'm a little concerned about her lack of eating lately. I was going to be done with baby food, but she is getting pickier everyday and I just want to make sure she's getting the proper nutrition. So I think we'll keep mixing the baby food in with the big girl food, any suggestions would be much appreciated. Today is also ELECTION DAY!! Yay, I am so excited about this election, I alreay voted and if you know me at all you know I voted for Obama, things should be getting very interesting. We're going over to Jame's tonight for an election party, watching the election is like my sports center, I can' wait. I hope everyone voted it really does matter.

sweet! although I totally understand that walking is so exciting but also creates so many "new" problems with them getting into EVERYTHING AND MORE. haha
as for baby food--have you tried the Graduates foods that are in little containers that you can pop in the microwave? They have different ones like whipped potatoes, raviolis, spaghetti, etc. We moved Brynn into eating those as she moved into the 10-12 and older months stage. She really liked them. Also have you tried Easy Mac (mac and cheese) again you can pop in the micro...real easy and 3 1/2 minutes later: voila a meal. We had great success with those food items for quite some time, esp when certain table foods were not to her liking. Also, don't worry about her not eating at times...it's the age--they go through spurts of eating you out of house and home and then other times, not eating at all.
