Day 276 - On today's menu

I realize now that the past several posts have had something about Allie's current diet and what foods she is trying out. This one will follow suit in that during a trip to the grocery store today, we decided to buy the little chicken and turkey Gerber Graduate sticks. My friend Kelly told me that her daughter loved them when she was a baby, so I thought, "Eh - what the heck."

I cut them up into tiny squares and served them with some silken tofu as the sticks were a bit salty (yes - I tried a bit of one!) She is loving the mushiness although she didn't eat that much of it. We continued the rest of her dinner with her normal broccoli, sweet potato and chicken mixture.

This past week has been interesting in that Allie starts to whimper each morning around 4:30 or 5:00 am. Rather than laying in bed listening to her toss, turn and whine - I've been doing a bad thing - I've been scooping her up and bringing her into bed with us. She goes right back to sleep and she's oh so nice to cuddle with. I didn't get her this morning, I just got up and covered her up in her own crib (I think she wiggles out of her covers and gets cold...) and she went back to sleep. Here's a picture from the other morning as I was getting ready for work - my two babies fast asleep...
