Look what daddy found

Ever since Munchie's first birthday party she has had an obsession with the self adhesive foam stickers!  Daddy Teems & I find them everywhere; the bathroom, the kitchen, in her clothes drawers, my purse, her carseat...did I mention that we find them everywhere?  For about a good month we would find little trails of stickers (it almost reminded us of Hansel & Gretel with their bread crumbs).  We finally decided that it was time to put the stickers away.  Every now & then we may find a sticker here & there.  Weeeell daddy Teems found one in a bag of cracker chips!  Hahahaahaha!! 

Gimmie some more...please

More please

     Yesterday on the way to the hospital (momma visit) Christiana started getting fussy (traffic was RIDICULOUS, so I don't blame her for being fussy) so I hand her one of her munchie crunchies, it kept her quiet for the time being.  I know they say you shouldn't feed a baby while driving, but it worked.  Then I heard a little noise and I quickly turned around and saw her little hand sticking up.  I then give her another munchie crunchie; same thing happened again - noise then hand up asking for more.  Hmmmm what a perfect teachable moment.  Before I handed her another munchie crunchie I would say "more please" & when she took the munchie crunchie I would say "thank you".   It was actually working!  I would say "more please" & her hand would go up; then I would say "thank you" and she would make a sound!  Heeeey! Now I have to say consistent and keep this up so she know to say please and thank you. 

Thank you

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Christiana's Food Adventures: Munchie Crunchies

     Christiana absolutely does not like baby food!!  She puts up the biggest fight when me or her Auntie Shelley (her daycare provider) tries feeding her the pureed food.  I even tried sneaking a spoonful here or there when she is telling me she doesn't like it (really crying) and she pushes it out of her mouth.  Her nana (grandma) bought us a Baby Bullet so we can make Christiana's food and she didn't like that either.  Auntie Shelley (her daycare provider) suggested jarred food, we tried that as well...she didn't like that either.

    
     Weeeeell we found something that Christiana looooves!!!  Lighty salted saltine crackers and Gerber lil' crunchies!  If we let her, she will eat the entire can of the Gerber lil' crunchies.  These are her "scooby snacks", we call them "munchie crunchies".
