Our little Foodie

Yesterday marked Adelyn's 10 month and 1 week birthday. She has been eating 'table' food for about a month now, which has expanded her palate tremendously. What does she now eat you ask?

• Waffles- she eats one nutri-grain Eggo waffle with her yogurt/fruit each morning, and loves it.
• Oatmeal- now that it is cold out, we sometimes give her a bowl of apples and cinnamon oatmeal to eat with her waffle instead of a yogurt/fruit combination.
• Bananas- Now that she can eat a banana the regular way, she loves them! Sometimes she will eat a whole one in a sitting
• Pasta- her favorite is little elbow macaroni. She pretty much likes both tomato and alfredo sauces, but her favorite is cheese. The girl loves Mac & Cheese, I have no idea where she gets it from :)
• Anything with cheese on it. This morning she downed some eggs and grits with cheese. She loves cheese enchilades... her theory, at the moment, seems to follow "as long as there is cheese, I am on board".
• She has also tried, and loved, shrimp, crab, red fish (aka spot-tail bass), ham, ground beef, prime rib (the last was on Christmas at the urging of Daddy), mushrooms, pretty much any type of bread, guacamole, chicken...
• She does not like rice. Or spagetti noodles. Maybe I should drench both in some cheese and see if that changes her mind...

I am still nursing 3-5 times/day. I let her eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, will nurse after each meal and then feed on demand throughout the day.

Christmas!

Not that there would be any questions, but Adelyn LOVED her first Christmas! She received so many presents- from Santa, Mommy & Daddy and all of her aunts, uncles, grandparents and great-grandparents. Thursday morning we did our Moerman family Christmas before heading to Brunswick to spend the holiday with my family. We did santa and stockings and then opened gifts from each other and Paul's family. We are so thankful! Later that afternoon we went to my parents house and spent the rest of the weekend enjoying friends and family. As you can see, Adelyn thoroughly enjoyed herself...

Santa came!

Daddy, can we do Christmas every day?

STOCKINGS!

I love my present from Mama!

Crawling!

Adelyn has decided that while the 'army crawl' was an acceptable way of getting around (she still uses it sometimes), crawling on all 4s has proven to be a much more effective method of getting around.

(for some reason the video uploader is not working at the moment.... I will try and upload again later...)

We were in Brunswick this past weekend for a wedding, with some down time Saturday morning, we decided to take an outing to the park... Adelyn LOVED the swing!

I love it when Pappy pushes me on the swing!

So much fun!

Playing with Aunt Anna

Other than that we are enjoying getting everything ready for Christmas, particularly the tree ornaments. The bottom portion of our tree is noticeably more bare than the rest of the tree because of little hands that try and grab everything within reach.

I am so good at helping Daddy decorate the Christmas tree
