Breastfeeding side lying

I don't know what took me so long but I finally figured out how to feed Meili both boobs without having to change position! I did try much earlier on but the boob on the upper side seemed too far to reach Meili. Anyway, yay! No more having to move her to feed each boob. 

I feel like chicken tonight

Meili had a teaspoonful of poached chicken tonight. She opens her mouth when I say 'ahh'. She loves her new portable chair by Regalo. 

Meili's munchies

Meili gets impatient trying to suck the juice from the apple pieces in the mesh bag thingo. She gums it a bit but mostly tries to latch on to it which doesn't really work. 

She tasted a tiny bit of mashed poached chicken today at lunch. And at dinner she gobbled a teaspoonful of avocado. She loves that stuff. 

Aside from strawberries, honey and carrots and egg whites I'm not sure what other foods to avoid for now. Time to look it up!

Christening

Aunt Judie actually cured at meili's baptism. Grandma Lois had water from the Jordan river that pastor Barbara used to wash meili's head with. Meili's godparents aunt Colleen and uncle Ernie looked on proudly. 

Stroller joy! A new record.

Meili spent 45 minutes in her stroller today. This surpasses her previous record of 10 minutes at the end of which I had to put her in the Ktan and walk her and the stroller back home. What I did different was put the seat completely upright. She can sit upright now! She likes the view. 

Baby hawk Mei Tai with Mirror: Works great

Meili sleeps good in the mei tai on my back. I've been going on slow jogs in the park and she sleeps for most of them. I check on her with my Lille baby retractable mirror. Super convenient. 

More immunizations.

Again already??? This time daddy got to hold Meili while she was jabbed. 

Pumpkin fest at Renshaw family farm

Hopefully we can make this a yearly tradition for the family. 

Beery breast milk puts baby to sleep

Or we could just give baby the beer? 

Disclaimer: no meili's were harmed in this photo shoot. 

Solid foods at five months?

Meili is already showing interest in our dinner. She's nearly lost the tongue push out reflex. But at five months I don't feel she is ready. 

Baby girl fashions

Meili: Oh YIKES what did mama put on me today?! Nothing goes with anything! And my hair oh dearie can you say bad hair day?!

Playtime again!
