Outfit Of The Day

Bet you thought I forgot didn't you? Well I didn't. And I took this picture at 7:55 am but was running around from 8 am to 3:30 pm. Then I was making dinner. Then I was cleaning up dinner. Then I was putting the kids to bed and dealing with all that entails (teeth brushing, flossing, potty, drinks, stories, tucking in, kissing, re-tucking in). And now - just now, do I get to post Naomi's Outfit Of The Day. Isn't it cute? It's a homemade gift from her Aunt Vita, given to her as a baptism gift. Very sweet. And I always appreciate these types of items because they are adorable keepsakes. I'd also like to say she rocked the heck out of this cape and beanie!

Naomi+Food+Video=CUTE

We took a video of Naomi the other day when she got her first taste of food. She has eaten this enthusiastically every time I've fed her since (4 times)! Hopefully she is always this easy to please when it comes to meal time.

First Taste

I'm sure you guessed this was coming next. Naomi had her first taste of baby food tonight! Of course, she tried the brown rice cereal I slaved over for the past two days. The way she reacted to it almost made me want to eat a spoonful, almost. She was very gung-ho from the first liquidy bite. I mean it was quite amusing. She had a smile plastered on her face while she gobbled up the first bowlful. I made her a second bowl and she excitedly waited as I stirred milk into the rice cereal to thin it out. I know Naomi seems to be developing in leaps and bounds, but I never for a second expected her to be so ready for food. She was over the moon in love with the rice cereal! She liked it so much she was grabbing for my hand and the spoon every time it came within her arms reach. And goodness she was making the cutest faces as she ate, and in no way am I biased about my daughters adorableness at all. Without further adieu, here are the pictures of Naomi's first baby food experience.

Hmm, what's this?

I'm intrigued and think I want more

super happy baby food eater

As an afterthought, I was editing this post and scrolled through the pictures quickly. It's funny how serious Naomi is in the beginning of the pictures and uber happy by the last one.

Brown Rice Cereal - Part 2

Yesterday I gushed over how easy it was to make homemade ground rice cereal. Today I decided to cook it. I was actually surprised at how little work actually went into making it. Now I am kicking myself for just trying it out now. The lesson here is that I'm going to make as much homemade baby food (fruit, veggie, protein, grain) as possible. 1/2 of a cup of the ground brown rice plus 4 cups of water made 12 individual servings of cereal for Naomi to eat!! So here are the final production pictures.
