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.

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought

A post

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

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
