Yummy!

 
 
 
 
Claire has had her fair share of food issues. First she liked cereal, then hated it, still isn't too crazy about it (but then who can blame her--it looks like mush), sweet potatoes, then hated them, loved them again, liked peaches, then hated them, and then loved them too. On and on it has gone as we've cycled through the baby food. I was freaking out a first, thinking I had a sensory issue on my hands. Obviously, the combination of having my own child and being a speech pathologist is lethal. I know way too much about child development and disorders for my own good. We started feeding Claire Gerber Peach Puffs about a month ago. These pictures were from then. Needless to say, she was not a fan! In they'd go and out they'd come. On and on it went until they finally disintegrated in her mouth. Now she loves them. She hasn't quite grasped the idea of how to put them in her mouth herself, so many end up on the floor, a fact Harvest truly enjoys. I've also tried feeding her tiny chunks of banana, but again, not such a fan. I ordered Chinese food last night. Claire was literally lunging for my rice and chicken teriyaki. I gave her a bit of rice and she ate it right up. Bite after bite. It was an instant hit. She loves it! She is definitely our child--a wee little piggy!

As a person who decides what to eat based on what it looks like and the feel it has in my mouth, I wouldn't worry too much about Claire. I have always weighed and eaten a good amount of food despite not liking most things. Have you tried little bits of strawberries or even elbow noodles? Thats what my mom fed me when I refused to eat other things.

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b

Claire, Mya and the NEWS

Chris and I had this elaborate plan on how we were going to share the news with our girls. I ordered adorable shirts, which took forever to get here. They were supposed to ship Oct. 4, but didn't. I am not a patient soul at all. I love to share good news and spread the excitement. We went to a German doctor last week for a gender reveal ultrasound. He was 99% certain of his selection. Claire and I began looking at clothes online. She asked questions about why we were looking at baby clothing, but thankfully, my sister has a little guy and a baby girl who is due in December. They are my perfect excuses for all things baby! Claire asked nothing more and began pointing out things we should buy Jackson or the new baby girl. Our weekends typically involve partaking in a local event or just relaxing, which means a trip to the KMCC Mall. Saturday we went shopping or at least looking. Once again, the girls became excited, choosing items for Jackson or the new baby girl. I decided I cou
