Hello 2013! This is my first post for 2013, and to start the year off I thought I would share our mornings with you. They are very simple, easy going and luckily not usually rushed. Mornings I will miss and dream of when I start working days again, which right now has no set date … Continue reading »
Summertime is long gone. The days of warm sunny weather, no jackets, toques or wishing I had a car starter. Even the days of Calla staying still long enough for me to go a little camera happy and snack a couple (or 50) photos of her playing with food. In particular cherries were a delight, … Continue reading »
Try offering small pieces of frozen fruit or veggies to ease teething pain. Always with supervision, and only if your little one is good with solids. These mesh teething feeders work great as well, however Calla prefers to pick each one up separately. Blueberries, diced strawberries, pitted and halved cherries, corn, peas and diced peaches … Continue reading »
Last week Calla turned one. I had envisioned her first party to be something magical. Decorations everywhere, a cute theme with matching food to nibble on, and a spectacular cake to smash and eat. Time got the best of me, as it usually does, and the party went on in a smaller, simpler scale. A … Continue reading »
I’ve been sitting on this post of awhile now. Trying to gather my thoughts, wondering when the next ‘milestone’ will come for Calla. Will it be the two front teeth that are slowly coming now, the little white specks peeking through? Will it be new words, more than momma, dadda, dog and now hi. But … Continue reading »
It didn’t take long for Calla to venture on her own after walking along furniture and using mom and dad’s hands for support. For a month and a half Calla practiced. Pulling herself up and working on her balance and coordination. Building and strengthening her legs and core muscles. She would surprise us by walking … Continue reading »
Blueberries. They’re small and blue and fruity. They’re high in antioxidants, fiber, Vitamin A and Vitamin C. They’re the perfect size to tuck into your cheeks and store, like little chipmunks, or like Calla does. We bought a big box from the Farmer’s Market last weekend and they’ve been our favorite snack all week. Being … Continue reading »
Shaky little legs ready for those first steps, arms and hands outstretched in anticipation, 2 bottom teeth poke out with a big cheeky smile, and bright brown eyes beam with excitement. Once she makes it her 4 or 5 steps she squeals with delight! She’s made it, and wants to do it again, and again. … Continue reading »
Within seconds of placing the bowl pasta on the board, she’s off to discover it. Moving very quickly, it doesn’t take long for her to reach the bowl and very curiously plunge her fingers into it. Grabbing a small handful of soft squiggly noodles, she pulls them out to get a closer look. With one … Continue reading »
It is shocking to me we are 3/4 through our first year. Today Calla is 9 Months old. Oh My Goodness! We spend alot of time these days crawling, climbing, discovering, walking (with help) and roaring, kind of like a little dinosaur. A little Calla-saurus. It’s been raining so much lately. And not just raining … Continue reading »
