I like to eat. eat. eat....

He loves finishing my apples with the 2 teeth he has on the bottom!

My 9 month old boy weighs 20 pounds and is 27 inches tall.  Both put him in the 25th percentile.  But I bet he eats more than your baby. 

This kid eats 
Breakfast: 2, 4 oz jars of fruit with 3 oz of 2% greek yogurt with a grain
Lunch: 1 jar meat with 2 jars of green vegetables with an occasional "textures" jar
Dinner: 3, 4 oz jars of a dinner or 2, 6 oz 3rd food dinners (chunky)

Add in nursing 3 times a day and some Cheerio's or puffs while getting his food ready.

What a chunk that isn't that chunky.  Kid has abs!

 


Teething biscuit I made awhile ago.  It kind of fell apart when he would suck on it for a while so probably not recommended for younger babies w/o experience with chewing

He has only recently started to like chunky foods.  He used to start gagging the minute anything chunky touched his tongue.  Literally, he would act like he is choking with nothing in his mouth. Good way to freak a mom out. But, I guess persistence paid off.  He now likes most chunky 3rd foods and has even started eating REAL FOOD! It all started with corned beef and cooked carrots for St. Patrick's day. Picked it right up and ate it himself.  Then I gave him some canned turkey (the kind that looks like and smells like tuna.  But it's real turkey). LOVED IT. Then we moved on to meatloaf.  LOVED IT!! Hopefully this keeps up and we can start cutting down on baby food and just give him some of ours.  That would sure save money!


We also had a break through with drinking water.  He actually likes it now.  He figured out how to use a straw when I gave him some of my smoothie and now he drinks from a straw. YAY!

Jackson is... 2???

How did that happen?! 2 years ago today we got to finally go home after his open heart surgery after being born, which you can read about  RIGHT HERE What a fun little man we have on our hands.  He runs around all day.  Loves anything to do with balls, cars, and trains.  Typical boy.  He talks in full sentences, sleeps in a big boy bed, and we will soon start potty training! He also sings songs the ABCs and many songs he has learned at church.  So cute to listen. Thank you Lucie for the adorable pictures!   For his birthday I really wanted to do something low key and not too much work.  Of course that doesn't apply to the cake, the most fun part! We took what Jackson loved and made a party out of it. A ball party.  We had it in our backyard, invited a few of his friends (also my nieces and nephew were in town!) and played with big and small balls, all sports balls, and bubbles (ball shaped). Now for the cake.  SO MUCH FUN! It took a c

Metopic Craniosynostosis

Updated Pictures of my handsome 4 year old! The most noticeable part is the scars is above his ears on either side. This spreading of the scar doesn't always happen but he seemed to have a lot of swelling after surgery in this area which stretched out the scars. The scares are most noticeable after a hair cut (which is during this). You can kind of see in this picture his squiggle scar that goes across his head from ear to ear. It's not super noticeable. I often get asked about Jackson's scar on his head.  Although his hair has grown A LOT since his surgery, it is still pretty obvious I think.  People are so funny about it though.  We usually get double takes or triple takes and only some people are bold enough to ask. WHICH IS FINE!  I don't know why people are so scared to ask.  Maybe because they think they will offend me? I don't know.  But some do ask and I reply he had Metopic Craniosynostosis. Metopic cranio whata wha? Short Answer: He

Baby Girls Nursery Reveal

Image
After having two boys, and putting together two different BOY nurseries, I was so excited to go in a completely different direction this time around.  Yes, dinos, cars, and animals are cute, but girly pink and flowers are much more fun to craft together.  This nursery turned out better than I thought it would and it is all DIY! And if I did it, so can you! Thank you PINTEREST! Lets start with the walls.  Where the white is, there used to be green with a small white stripe.  Originally, we were just going to paint it and leave it white. BUT, after doing that I HATED it! Luckily, I gained some inspiration from the bedding and found  these vinyl triangles   on Etsy.  They were a great price and we were very pleased with them.  Especially because they came with more than the 100 it said it would. The laser level came in handy when hanging these. The bedding I couldn't find bedding that I really liked anywhere.  Again, I turned to Etsy but then realized
