Bananas
Keira had her first taste of some solid food about a week ago. Of course, it was really runny with some mommy’s milk added to it. But overall she seemed to like it. Some people think starting baby off with fruits, might give them a sweet tooth, but I read online that bananas are a good one to start with because they have a similar taste to breast milk, which is also kind of sweet. She has also had some baby cereal and done really well with that too. Today I gave her a taste of some thawed out pureed pumpkin, but she did not seem to like it. She was gagging on it and made really funny faces showing me she was not enjoying it at all. We’ll see if she changes her mind tomorrow.
Here are some pics and a video of her first taste of banana:
Six months old…already?!
Our sweet little Keira Joy will be 6 months old on the 20th. These past few months have really flown by, it’s crazy how fast it seems when you look back, especially with little ones.
Keira is a great eater and sleeper. I’m so thankful I’m able to still be breastfeeding her. This time around I’ve been more conscious of drinking a lot more water, which I think was one of the problems I had with Violet. Soon I will be starting her on solids. No teeth yet either.
She is a very happy baby! She loves being talked to and she really loves her sister, who really likes playing with her and keeps her entertained. Keira is always rolling everywhere. For nap time, I tuck her in like a little burrito so she doesn’t roll on her belly, which she doesn’t like for sleeping yet. She does well with strangers holding her. I thought for a bit she didn’t like strangers, when we were at the doctors office she would cry if someone there held her, but I think it might have been she was really tired those times.
She is always reaching out for things and when she gets it, she brings it right to her mouth. She likes grabbing at people’s faces and hair. It’s all just so interesting to her right now. And she thinks it’s funny when we clap.
We’re so thankful to have this happy little girl who bring such joy into our lives everyday!
