Saturday Fun

Amelia woke to the news that Grandma Cathy and Grandpa Larry were making an impromptu visit today, but alas, it got called off due to Grandma waking up not feeling so great.

So we decided that today would be good for hanging out in our pj's and getting some stuff done around the house.

Amelia proceeded to crawl into her pile of toys, with Bella looking in on the fun from above. One thing on our list is to transfer that pile of toys into Amelia's new toy box! Oh well, that can wait for another day...


Next (after a nap) .... I had some veggies to puree for Amelia. With her current eating, I have to do it almost every weekend to keep up! So I plunked her in her high chair and went to work, while letting her feed herself lunch. She ate tofu chunks covered in graham cracker crumbs, peach chunks, and cheerios. She was also snacking on some of the veggies I had cooked: peas, carrots and green beans. Basically, she sat there, happily eating for like an hour while I was working. As you can see, she's at the point now that she can eat a lot of things by herself in chunks, but I'm still making purees because it's easier and faster at feeding time.

And then she served as my official taster. :)

All in a good day's work.... [that's tofu on her chin]


Then, she had some fun playing with her toys and did some awesome crawling [video to be posted next!].

Finally, she crashed for her afternoon nap. We have a birthday party for her friend, Carrick, in an hour, so she should be nicely refreshed and ready to go!
