I'm back online...well with my computer. My charger came last week and works like a charm. Like 4th time's a charm.
The weather has been pretty fantastic here this week...and last week too. Mother Nature's birthday gift to me. We've been spending lots of time outside with Kyla and Ginger. Anna has trouble walking on our hill. There has been lots of falling. I got our strawberries a few flowers planted over the weekend. Things in our yard are starting to bloom! I went to clip my roses last week and they already had buds on them. I still have lots of clipping to do. Over the weekend I took out some ivy. A lot of ivy, but only maybe 5% of the ivy in our entire yard. Whoever planted that ivy should be shot...then hung. I'm serious. No mercy.
Anna update:
She now signs: more, baby, all finished, milk and eat. She is speaking: mom, dad, no, yes, and dog. She has said 'more' once, but it hasn't been a repeat sound.
Her
favorite foods: corn, peas, carrots, grapes, yogurt, raisins, clementines, bananas, oatmeal (steel cut oats only - I tried rolled and she took two bites), apples, pears, blueberries, strawberries, black olives, wheat ritz, cheese, pasta, pork, steak, chicken. Of course she eats just about anything. She's an all day snacker like I am, but is also very good about her meals. She has a banana (sometimes 2) when we first get up. Then somewhere around 9 we split a bowl of oatmeal or pancakes (now waffles too), but mostly oatmeal and Anna eats 90% of it. Then it's down for morning nap until about 11:30. We have lunch at noon on the dot. Lots of playing, running outside, torturing dogs, walking, or coloring. Nap time again at 3ish and a snack around 4:30-5ish. I'm amazed that 1. she takes a great afternoon nap, gets up sometimes as late as 5-5:30 and has no problem going back to bed at 7pm and 2. has a snack after nap then eats a big dinner. Throughout the day, she snacks on whatever she can find. Usually there are clementines, crackers, and raisins in her backpack and she knows it!
I'm really looking forward to eating more veggies this summer!!!
It's been very nice to spend the last few weeks outside! Ginger has been out all day most days. Kyla of course stays close.
Food ends up on the floor. So it might as well start out on the floor.
I was feeding her pasta one night for dinner and she got tired of waiting for me to give her the next noodle. I let her dig in and work on her fork skills
This is about how far into them she gets before she will bring them to me to peel.
Who dressed my child today?
Learning to eat an apple ...the skins are much better then clementines.
