Apples

Dear Camryn,

You reacted to Apples the same way you reacted to Bananas at first.....



But then you liked them!!






Apples are finger lickin' good!!

I really enjoy my time with you during meals, and it's the time during each day that I look forward to the most. You are such a snuggle bug when I nurse you, and after I burp you, you like nuzzling you head into my neck and just cuddling and relaxing with me. Solids is quite different, and quite messy! I love this time with you because it's so new for you and you're curious about everything; the food, the spoon, your bib. You still have a tongue thrust (normal in infants until 6-7 months) so most of your meal ends up running down your chin and onto your bib. You open your mouth when I make the spoon into an airplane, but once I get the spoon into your mouth you just smile and coo, so your food spills out. :)

There's nothing that brings me more joy than making these fun memories with you!!

Love,
Mommy

Happy 4 Month Birthday Camryn!

Dear Camryn,

Happy Birthday! Stop growing so fast little girl. 4 months have come and gone in a blink. Daddy & I love sharing our lives with you, and look forward to waking up every morning and rolling over to see you staring right back wearing the biggest goofy grin! You have changed so much in the last month; you make a slobbery hissing noise, roll over by yourself, splash like a crazy girl in your baths, hold your head up without any trouble at all, try to eat your entire fist, bat at and hold onto your toys, and you're learning what "kiss" means! You're really good at entertaining yourself, but you are also becoming very aware of when you're alone, and you'd much rather be playing with someone instead of something. Lucky for you, I'd much rather play with you than do anything else! :)
Daddy & I let you lick a piece of watermelon when we were on vacation in California, but tonight we fed you your first "solid". Bananas!!! You were loving your bib, and even seemed curious about the bowl and spoon, but the bananas....well, a pictures worth a thousand words, right?!




Ok, bibs pretty fun....



A little hesitant, but still being a trooper.



Open wide!!! This is your very first bite of real food!!!



"ahhh....seriously mom?"



"What the heck is that??? Ewwww!!"



"No thank you, I'm not interested in that....Yuck!!"



"Seriously, I would rather eat my bib!"



Let's try again.



Apparently Mommy wasn't doing it right, so Camryn is helping.









"Tastes just as bad, even when I feed myself. Gross....bananas are gross!"



Solids are MESSY!!!

We aren't actually starting you on solids until your 6 month birthday, but we may let you have the occasional taste like we did tonight. We had fun!

Love you bug,
Mommy
