We went to the zoo last week and had so much fun. She would actually look at all of the animals and loved it, except for the chimpanzees. For some reason she did not like them and it made her cry when I would try to show her them.
This is the new hair clip that I made
Most of her friends her age from church!
Jade and Macy in a plane at the museum
This is how I found her the other morning with one arm out of her jammies
Thanks aunt Stevie for such great books! (I found her like this today)
Jade loves her sippy cup. When we are feeding her she always lets us know just what she wants. First she opens her mouth so big for a bite and then she will shut her mouth tight and reach for the sippy cup. After she gets a big gulp, she opens her mouth for another bite. Then another drink. She likes to switch off the whole meal. It's so cute!
She is a little lazy sitting in the highchair. But this week she did sit the the shopping cart for the first time!!
I have finally decided to start decorating our apartment. I never really have done too much in the past because I have known that we would only be there for a short time. I got this great idea from my friend Tasha. Jade loves to look at all of the pictures. Thanks Tasha!!
Jade has been eating solids for about 2 1/2 months now and I have made it all!! I have not bought one jar. I got a baby food cookbook from a friend and I love it! It is so fun for me to make it all and it is so much cheaper, and healthier than buying it by the jar. One batch of peas will last you forever! I make a big batch and then freeze it in ice cube trays so everyday I just take out one cube and it's the perfect serving size. So far I have made butternut squash, peas, sweet potatoes, prunes, green beans, carrots, apricots, and pears. Her favorites are the prunes, and carrots.
Here is the recipe for the butternut squash:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut squash in half and scrape out seeds.
Put squash, cut side down, in a baking pan. Pour water into pan to come 1/4 inch up the sides of the squash. Roast until tender when pierced with a fork, 45-1hour, depending on size. Let cool.
Scoop out flesh and puree in food processor until smooth. Add water, breast milk, or formula to thin to a consistency your baby can handle. (I use the water left in the roasting pan)
To store- in refrigerator for 3 days, freeze up to 3 months.
babies enjoy!
So Jade is 7 months and she can't sit up 100%. She can for like a min and then falls over, BUT.... she is about to crawl!!!! She get up on her knees and rocks back and forth it's so cute!
(these were taken this morning right before her first swim class which she loved!)
