Weekend Recap - 3.4.13

This weekend was pretty low key for Norah. We spent Saturday getting haircuts and buying all sorts of yummy baby food.

For most of Sunday morning, Norah was either playing or zooming around with her (not so) new walker that a friend lent us. She really loves walking with that thing, but she gets total jelly legs when we try to hold her hands and stand her up. She has the strength, she's just a total chicken!

 

Sunday afternoon was a girl's day for me, so Norah spent some time with Dad and her grandparents.

Food wise, Norah was not much of an eater this weekend. She didn't finish her breakfast either day, and she downright refused to eat her carrots at snack time. Since her first birthday is fast approaching, we're starting to wean her off of formula and on to milk. The whole weekend she did half milk, half formula and she drank it out of straw cups! This is some real progress. Soon we'll be done with formula and bottles! YAY!!!!!!!

Have a great week, everyone!

Weekend Recap - 2.25.13

Another week has passed us by, but we had lots of excitement here.

First up, on Saturday Norah and I went to a wedding shower for my husband's cousin. There were plenty of people there to give her kisses and waves (her new favorite thing), but I think she found the whole thing just a bit overwhelming. Four hours in a high chair is just not something she's into. Now that she's learning to walk, she wants to practice all the time. The car ride home took about forty minutes and she slept right through it!










On Sunday we celebrated Poppy's birthday by going out to breakfast and then having cake (yes, we're bad, we had cake for lunch). Norah must be going through a super growth spurt because she ate the following before noon:

• 1 container of yoToddler yogurt
• Half an orange
• Half a pancake
• A handful (mine, not hers) of Cheerios
• A few bites of my ham and egg omelette
• A quarter of a piece of toast
• About 10 blueberry puffs
• 12 oz of formula

Phew! This little bugger is going to eat us out of house and home if we're not careful!

Sunday afternoon meant working from home for me, so Norah and Dad went to the supermarket. From what he tells me, she made lots of friends while she was there.

Have a great week, everyone!

Weekend Recap - 2.18.13

So, what did everyone do this weekend? Here in NJ it was back to a very cold 28 degrees. Needless to say, we didn't spend much time outside!

On Saturday we ventured out to a children's museum right around the corner from our house called The Garden State Discovery Museum. Norah had fun, but most of the exhibits were geared towards older kids. I think we'll hold off on heading back to this place until the summer, on a day where it's not overrun with birthday parties.

Sunday morning means grocery shopping. We've gotten into the routine of heading to the store as soon as Norah eats breakfast. This turns a usually stressful afternoon trip into a good experience. The only other people in the store at this early hour are other parents. It makes it a lot easier if Norah starts freaking out. At least these other people understand. This week it's Norah, next week it might be their child!

On Sunday afternoon I tried to do some artwork with Norah. It didn't turn out so well. She really hates the feel of paint on her hands.



I know this is a three day weekend for most, but it's back to work for me today. Norah will have a daddy-daughter day since daycare is closed for training. She's going to hang out with her friend Colleen. And when I say hang out, I mean they'll just play with toys in the same room and barely acknowledge each others existence (except when one picks up a toy the other one wants.)

Hope everyone has a nice week!
