It is absolutely amazing how much food we waste having a 1 year old. My goodness, I had no idea how much food I would be dumping down the garbage disposal once I had a child eating real food. When Kayden was a baby she ate EVERYTHING I put in front of her. Now that she has been exposed to the ‘good stuff’ she is becoming more and more finicky. I offer grilled chicken, veggies, hard boiled eggs, etc. that any pediatrician would be proud of, but my little girl is more interested in the mac n cheese, crackers, hot dogs, and M&Ms that she knows are in the cupboards! Little did I know that ‘exposing’ my child to foods meant that I was eliminating the healthy foods she needs! :-/
I don’t have any pictures of her avoiding food, but here are the highlights of Baby Duty this week. 🙂
Play time and feeding time at Miss Maica’s.

Play Time at the Hatchers:
This first picture is of Eli at our garage door. Maica thinks that Eli could care less if she leaves a room. I think that it’s because he is so well adjusted and has a great time at our house. 🙂 I happened to capture a picture of Eli this morning at the garage door right after Maica left. I hated sending her a sad picture, but I knew she would appreciate knowing that her little Buddy sure does miss her when she’s gone!

Lucky for me, Eli was easily distracted from the door and came to play with Kayden and me at our new table!

Nap time consisted of a quick nap for Eli in the crib, but he definitely preferred sleeping on me. How could I resist such a sweet face?!

The pugs needed a break too!

The afternoon consisted of a staggered lunch ( so difficult… who do you feed first?!), a walk at the beach with our new friend Aubrey, and an afternoon snack at the kid table!

All in all, we had another fantastic day!! Thanks Eli for coming to play!!
