She is so cute! I cannot resist her at all. I truly absolutely love and adore her. I do my other children as well, don't misunderstand me, but there is something about her that makes my heart melt. I am not a proponet of pushing solids on baby's. I love to nurse and do that for a long while. But when they start grabbing at your hand while you are eating, or watching your every bite, then I know they are interested. Otherwise, it is just wasted food, time and mainly for mom. :) That is my humble opinion.
Mady has been trying to grab my hand and tablecloth for awhile now and I finally broke down. One thing I have learned in my years of feeding little ones is a bottle works great with the nipple cut open a little bigger. It is less mess and they can work to hold the bottle which is awesome! This is just something little I have learned and works for us. So we tried with the spoon first, but she seemed to enjoy the bottle more.
One thing I did that I completely spaced on was nurse her before eating. I know, duh, but it is something we have just done, so she didn't gag, didn't spit it out, and seemed to enjoy it. So tomorrow, food first, nurse later. It is amazing even after 5 the things that you space. :)
She kept grabbing my hand to shove it to her mouth. We were all laughing. She really enjoyed it.
"Where's the food?"
Trying with the spoon. It went well, but the bottle was much more exciting.
She really could care less. So tomorrow is a new day and we will see what she decides to do.Having a baby in the house is always fun. I love their smiles, smells, giggles, and especially when they hear their voices. It just warms my heart and humbles me greatly. I don't deserve any of them, yet the Lord loves me to bless me with all of them. I am truly blessed by each one of them. I couldn't imagine a day without them, without caring for them, even through the arguing and bickering and everyday life.
I cannot wait for more and pray each night for another little one to rest in my womb. Sounds crazy to some, but when the Lord changes your heart from not having any more and having a vasectomy, to wanting and desiring more and having reversal and it worked! Well, God is the one who changes hearts. I am thankful for His work in me.
God bless.
