She feeds herself!
Our little Jayla is growing up! She is now feeding herself, finger foods. We give her cheerios, veggie puffs, little pieces of cheese - so far that's all we done. I tried banana, but man that stuff is all gooey and slippery, so it didn't go over as well. She had good intentions, but it kept slipping out of her hands.
Here's a picture of the little one at work...fighting for a piece of cheese!
She's doing very well with her eating again. She went through a short stint where she was not impressed with food. All she wanted to do was nurse and even the bottle was a battle! But she's over that....now she loves most foods. She's luckily not picky firhg now...but I"m sure that's yet to come. She enjoys vegetables like, sweet potato, carrots, cauliflower, parsnips (if it's mixed with something else and cheese) and peas. For fruits, anything goes, mango, peaches, apples, pears and we recently tried avocado, which I think is a fruit. She also likes chicken when mixed with other foods...apples and chicken is her favorite so far.
Food talk leads to weight talk. She's about 25lbs. Her weight gain has slowed down, but it's hasn't come to a standstill yet. But that's okay, as she gets more mobile, I'm sure she'll slim down. I'm certainly not worried about her weight, it's my back I'm concerned about. Luckily Jayla is not one of those babies who wants to be carried and held all the time. She's so content playing with her toys sitting on the floor, watching a bit of baby einstien (beethoven is her favorite) , reading books, a little time in the exercsaucer and of course meal time!
She has been so loving lately. Jayla has learned to kiss (open mouth, with some tongue - but watch out for banging heads!) and hugs and cuddles. She's very snuggly these days. And I think she knows that she's being cute when she does it. I'll say, give mommy a kiss and she'll lean in with her mouth wide open and then slip me the tongue! Haha.
I think Jayla is slowly learning how to wave. I've seen her wave 'hi' to babies in stores, but she doesn't to the wave bye-bye yet. I think it's cute that she just randomly waves.
Oh and I stole this little saying from a friend. She was actually shaking her baby's foot when she said it, but she just quickly repeats 'how do you do?, how do you do?' and I actually have Jayla putting out her hand to shake mine while I say it...it's so cute! And she gets such a kick out of it.
Here's a picture of her doing it with Nana...
And here's just a cute picture of Jayla on the computer chair. She was getting a ride last night. I think she likes it. That's the cutest little sleeper too, don't you think?
Okay, well, we move this Sunday, so maybe we'll have more to update once we're settled!
Baby getting fussy, here I go! I'm off...
