I feel like not much has happened in the last couple weeks -- but as I sit here and look back, milestones are just flying by. The weekend after my last post, Jason was out of town and ToysRUS was having a great toy sale before their Thanksgiving/Christmas sales were going to start (I found that out later...haha) But I was still able to stock up on some good things and got almost all my shopping done so I wouldn't have to fight the future traffic and the possibility of them not having something that I wanted for her. Keep in mind these toys are for her birthday AND Christmas -- which are just a little under a month apart. Plus some of this stuff is from MeeMaw/PeePaw since they went shopping with me. I'm so excited about the little Leap Frog table on the left..she's definitely getting that one for her birthday. Her B.F.F. Collette has one and Kadence LOVES playing with it! So I felt she should have one of her own. And I'm a sucker for all the Little People animal related things, so there you have it. Funny thing is she'll probably enjoy the boxes more than the toys themselves :)
I also bought her some rainbow stacking toys too while we were out shopping -- she got some of those immediately though. I'd been meaning to get some for a while and was really slacking (and delaying) on that milestone. In just a little under 2 weeks though and playing with her daily with them, she's started stacking them inside each other on her own. Plus it's fun to put her little O's inside them and watch her reach inside and pull them out before stuffing them in her face HA
KK got another free book in the mail thanks to Dolly Parton and her Imagination Library -- "Sleep Baby Sleep" has actually been one of my favorites that she's gotten since we started receiving them! I wish every state could raise the funding necessary to do this for their little people. I guess I feel blessed that I live in TN and I get to see her little library grow before my eyes. I've also purchased some new books within the last couple weeks -- Costco has some great board book sets + a carrier right now for $9.99 for the holidays.
Hmm....let's see -- new foods tried -- I've started giving her Yo Baby's Blueberry Yogurt which she loves but it's pretty cold, so she tries to pull it out of her mouth...looks at it...and then crams it back into her face!! Tried just some plain spiral pasta the other night with some jar food on the side and she took one bite and then threw the rest on the floor. So much for that idea. She likes bread when we go to restaurants, but still at a lose for what finger foods I should be giving her. Everything I make has spices in it and I know that's not really a good idea for baby. So who knows. Not to mention, the recommended daily diet for babies is INSANE! I read up the other day and here's the list -- (2) servings of vegetables AND fruits, (1) serving of yogurt, (1) serving of meat, (1) serving of grains a day + (3-4) bottles totaling 24 oz. Ummm...really?! How many times is my child suppose to eat a day?! Haha I am doing the best I can and trying to switch it up. She's still growing consistently even though I'm not feeding her everything she's suppose to be eating. *sigh*
BIGGEST NEWS OF THE UPDATE...Kadence is taking half steps! And by half steps I mean -- she is standing (and/or letting go of whatever she's holding onto) and taking a step with one foot and then either falling or sitting down as fast as she can. So we're not counting it as her first step yet until she gets a step in with both legs :) But she's done this like half a dozen times. So it's not going to be long before she's running! HA
Teeth count: Getting ready to break in her 6th one. (2 top, 4 bottom) Might have a few more on the horizon.
Till next time guys. xo
