Cup

Today Tessa held her cup all by herself! Normally she just leans forward waiting for me to put it in her mouth and tip it. This is a milestone for her since she doesn’t get a bottle frequently enough to get practice holding onto one.

Cereal

Tessa loves carbs like her Mommy! She loves to eat cereal for breakfast. She is now eating solids three times a day. Cereal in the morning, a fruit/veggie for lunch, and another veggie for dinner. Butternut squash is still her favorite veggie!

Yams and Boo boo #2

Found another veggie Tessa likes. Yams! She chowed down on them. I’m glad she isn’t showing signs of being picky…yet. Being 8 months old is rough! Tessa got her second boo boo today 🙁 she managed to hit her head on the island in the kitchen today while I was making lunch. Tessa was playing […]

Green beans

Tessa had organic green beans for the first time today. She seemed to like them more than the avocado. We also got a high chair from Great Aunt Penny’s friend. Tessa enjoyed eating in it and banging her toys on the tray. I’m learning ways to video tape Tessa even if I’m the only adult […]

Avocado

Tessa had her first real solid today besides cereal. I puréed an avocado with water in the baby bullet. I’m going to make all Tessa’s food homemade just to keep it as fresh and natural as possible. The pictures make it seem like Tessa didn’t enjoy the avocado but she didn’t refuse it or spit […]

Dinner

Tonight we went out to dinner. I say this a lot but Tessa is literally an amazing baby. She is constantly happy and easy going. Tonight at dinner she played in the high chair and looked around. This video shows how much she was enjoying herself.

Rolls for days

Tessa might make this face and act like she is starving when she is ready to eat but I think the arm and leg rolls show that she is getting plenty of nutrition. Tears don’t even come out…drama
