What am I thankful for?
I am so thankful for healthy baby foods and a healthy baby!
Over the past few days, Ava has been happy and healthy, playing well and exploring her world. She is taking naps a lot easier and is just a real joy to be around! She now weighs 19.03 lbs. I, on the other hand, must have a cold or something because I feel a little run down and overall icky. Hopefully Ava doesn't catch it.
In new news, Ava is going to start eating rice cereal tomorrow. She has tried and loved almost all the foods I have introduced her to but she is still breastfeeding for all of her meals. She didn't like peas at all, but then again, I don't like peas either. Yuck.
I hope that by introducing cereal, she will realize that eating real food is often just as good as milk. But if she isn't ready I'm not going to push the issue. She will let me know when milk isn't cutting it. But I have a feeling it isn't holding her over because she wakes up every 3 hours for an actual feeding. She gets pretty mad when my letdown is too slow so I think that time is nearing. Today she ate 1/3 of a banana for lunch and then ate an entire milk meal too! Maybe this will hold her over for a while.
Also, in addition to learning "byebye," Ava taught herself how to wave "hello" too. At our Relief Society party tuesday, Ava suddenly waved to the ladies who were saying hello. She's such a smarty. And today she created a new game. Mike made kissy noises at her and with her pacifier in her mouth she sucked and made a kissing noise everytime Mike said, "give daddy a kiss, muah!" We recorded it but I'm not sure how to share it without first putting it on YouTube.
