Real People Food!

Today, I was determined to get Jo to take atleast 1 long nap. I can't stand having a monster baby from 2:30-7:45! So in anticipating of failing and having a very unhappy baby I put this onsie on her that I thought was very fitting. If you can't read it, it says Cry Baby and then the definition "one who cries or complains frequently with little cause" haha




And some pictures of Jo when she was fully dressed haha here are some cute pictures of her sneezing and playing with really safe toys, yup... really safe.


So anyway, she took her usual 30 minutes (on the dot) nap for her first nap. Since I have tried everything, I was pretty desperate to have her take a longer 2nd nap. So as the 30 minutes mark approached, I picked her up while she was asleep and brought her in our bed with us and I layed down with her and cuddled with her (this always gets her to sleep for a long time in the mornings) and she ended up taking an 1 1/2 hour nap! And I even doozed off a little too =) Unfortuantly, it took me 50 minutes... yes, 50 minutes, to rock her to sleep. She just layed in my arms wide awake and then would drift off then open her eyes and repeat. I finally got her to fall asleep after 20 minutes but she woke up 5 minutes after putting her down and then I had to pick her up again and all in all it took 50 minutes. Must have been the long nap! So tomorrow, I am going to attempt to get her to take just one long nap! Wish me luck!

Tonight, Jo had her first meal of all grown up people food! She first had some Cheerios, then had some mixed vegatables, a few Puffs, and some of my fruit bar popsicle. I'm not sure she ate as much as she usually would if she had baby food but we'll see how she sleeps tonight and judge it by that. I think she'll like it better once I chop it up better with my new food processor! I didn't use it tonight but I definitely will start. Here are some pictures!





And here is what the chair looked like after I took her out...

And finally, here are 2 videos of Jo eating her veggies, they're kinda boring so you don't have to watch them if you get bored haha I just love them because I'm her mom! =)



My new TV console comes Friday! YAAAAY!

That is one big bowl of vegetables. Samantha would have a field day with those - and by field day I mean dump them all over her tray, herself and the floor! It will be so good for her to be eating people food. It will be like a whole new world to explore! So cute!
