Peas...

In my quest to be a “good parent” I have been making baby food. (I know I have become one of “those people”.) I laid my daughter down for her morning nap, quickly replied to emails, and then rushed downstairs to begin making her baby food. During her nap I chopped, steamed, baked, and then pureed apples, green beans, and peas. When she woke up I was so excited by my handiwork I scooped her up and brought her to the kitchen to sample. (In the past she has thoroughly enjoyed this event!) Today, nope. Green vegetables apparently are disgusting to a six month old. She made a face and promptly spit the peas into my face. The irony of this is I have been giving her frozen peas and she LOVES them. Pureed peas are gross.

So anybody like pureed peas? I have a freezer full now and nobody to eat them! Maybe I can make them into pea soup.

If only...

I wish I could have a dramatic temper tantrum because I turned my head away from my dinner?!?!

Pacifiers

I have decided that I hate pacifiers. My child wants the pacifier in her mouth while she sleeps BUT she can not put it in her mouth on her own. When she wakes up in the middle of the night and discovers that is gone she whines which leads to crying which then leads to screaming. I slowly walk into her room, put the pacifier in her mouth, and she is asleep before I leave the room. Now if I could climb back in my bed and be asleep in moments as well, this would be ok but I can not. About the time I fall back asleep the baby wakes up and we repeat this process.

So I am officially done with THAT THING! No more playing the pacifier game. Tonight I am not giving it to her to fall asleep and we are moving past having that piece of plastic disturbing our sleep!
