So, we got this cool Beaba baby cooker as a baby shower present, and I love it! I am a babyfood making fool. It is easy to use, quick, and best of all, I know exactly what is in it, and what I am giving to Violet, which is just pure veggies and fruit. Now, I know that for convenience and time, I will buy jars of baby food. But, when you compare the price as well as how vibrant and colorful the homemade baby food is when compared to store bought, it is definitely a win-win. We are doing green veggies first, then orange and yellow veggies, and then fruit last. Hopefully this will help develop her taste for green veggies. ( I may be having wishful thinking, but at least we are trying, right?). Violet tried spinach for the first time yesterday. It was quite funny to watch. She took many bites at first, but then after a couple minutes she started acting like it was the worst thing ever. She tried it again today, and ate a little more but eventually turned her head and refused any more bites. We are trying peas, green beans and then asparagus over the next couple weeks. We will let you know how that goes. Violet is quickly outgrowing her bumbo, so we plan to get a high chair in the next week or two hopefully, as well as a new car seat, because Vi only has 3 pounds to go until she will outgrow her seat. And as you know, mommy is a bit of a car seat-crazed person. (But in my defense, if you went through training to become a car seat technician and saw all that I see in the ED, you would be too!!)
We had a nice weekend, not too much going on. Violet and I had a fun day. We went to church, and Violet made it through almost the whole service before she was ready to eat. She was loving all the people, especially if any guys said hi to her, she was such a flirt. Daddy, I think we are in trouble...Then we ran some errands while Ev spent all day putting a new back door on our storage shed. Thanks to Jason for spending your whole day helping! Violet went to bed about 6:45 tonight, and I have just been finishing up making and freezing food for her, doing laundry, getting ready for the week,etc. I hope everyone had a restful weekend! We are excited for Thursday when we get to hang with Auntie Sandi and cousins Kael and Gage since they are on Spring Break! XOXO...
