Janie still loves her puffs!
Not sharing
Auntie Yoon is in town from Hawaii this week so we had dinner with her tonight. Janie gobbled up her puffs at the restaurant and didn’t even consider sharing them with her.
Broccoli
Fruits & Veggies
We visited the Cerritos Farmer’s Market to pick up some new fruits and veggies for Janie to try. We’re going make some green beans, broccoli, asian pear, and kale today!
Sharing…sort of…
Koa loves Janie’s puffs and she tried to share them with him tonight. Unfortunately, it was so hidden in her palm that Koa couldn’t get to it and then Janie decided to just eat it herself. Poor Dog.

poop, eat, sleep
I’ve realized that we’ve taken Janie’s regularity for granted. When one of what I call the baby trinity is off, the others are off too. It seems that our Little Janie is almost back to her old self this afternoon. She’s still probably teething but what’s made a big difference today was that she pooped 3(!) times this afternoon. She had been backed up for about two days, which can probably make anyone cranky and less hungry. Today she drank a bottle of milk while we were out in the morning and actually took her usual 2-hour nap at noon, which she usually fights on the weekends. Her 2:00 pm snack was still a little difficult (i.e. keeping her mouth shut, turning away from the spoon) but her 6:00 pm meal was back to normal (i.e. opening her mouth and leaning in for the spoon). I was so relieved that I nearly cried when she finished her bowl of purees this evening. Lastly, when it was time for bed around 8, she rolled onto her side and fell asleep. Yes! All is well with the world when your baby poops, eats, and sleeps.
Fun at Uncle’s House
We went down to Uncle Jason’s this evening and Janie had a fun time. His apartment is a decent size and the best thing about it is that he has a huge empty floor space with carpet in the livingroom. When Janie comes over, she takes up the whole space with her belongings and trusty sidekick Koa.
She helped herself to the puffs when Mommy wasn’t looking.
In the bedroom, she enjoyed time in front of the full-length mirror.
And at dinner at the restaurant next door, she sat by herself in the highchair and ate puffs at her leisure.
More teeth soon?!
These past couple days have been a little rougher than usual for us. Janie started fussing more at night and her naps and feeds have been a little less predictable during the days. In fact, this afternoon she flat out refused her 3:00 pm bottle with Mirian. This is the bottle that she usually guzzles down in 5 minutes because she’s just woken from her 2-hour nap. When I tried to give it to her at 7:00 pm, she refused is again and preferred to nurse. Dumping the milk down the sink was so painful to see but I couldn’t keep it.
She also didn’t want to eat her purees that evening, which started to worry me. Later that evening, she had a hard time sleeping (just like the night before) and when I put my finger in her mouth to check her gums she screamed. I didn’t feel any teeth but something’s hurting in there. So I gave her a frozen teething ring and she loved it. I fact, I had to give her a second one after the first one wasn’t cold anymore. So, let’s chalk this weirdness to teething. I gave her some Tylenol and she slept for most of the night. Finally.
Bath and a Bottle
After a long weekend of outings and playing with family, Janie had a quiet Monday evening with Mommy.
Before bed, she had a warm bath and a bottle.
It had been a while since I had last given her a bottle at home and tonight she held the bottle on her own. What a big girl!
No Fair!
Janie had to sit at the table while all the grown-ups ate a big Korean feast.
Poor baby just had to sit there with no access to the food. One day she’ll get to try some tasty spicy pork and kalbi. One day.
