Day 60 – Breakfast

Things have been really busy here. Malina is teething, has learned how to crawl, also she’s having a sleep regression, and on top of that she is mastering pulling herself up to a standing position.

So all the baby proofing we didn’t finish while I was pregnant had become necessary to do. We are also learning about all the little things we didn’t expect to be worried about when it comes to Malina’s health and safety.

I never thought I’d have to worry about the baby going for the shoes and trying to eat them.

But that aside I’ve also been dealing with other things that have prevented me from working on the blog.

So I’m back logged and though I have the pictures picked out and edited, as well as the outlines and notes to write the posts all set up, I rather do this update and worry about those posts when I have time again to deal with them.

So, without further preamble. I present today’s breakfast!

Croissant, chicken breakfast sausage, steamed broccoli, and blueberries in plain yogurt.

Malina has become quite the carnivore and so it was no surprise that she went straight for the breakfast sausage.

She liked it a lot. She’s actually been doing really well with eating more of her food too and she managed half of the entire sausage this morning before moving on to one of her favorites.

Broccoli.

I haven’t gotten her to eat more than the tops yet but Malina has a great love for her broccoli. It works out too since she needs the iron.

Next, she tried the croissant.

I left it while so she could pick it up and get a feel for it. This was good for her experience with it but she was irritated with how it smashed together in her hand and as a result she surprised herself when she tore a piece off.

The surprise wore off though and she managed to eat a couple bites of the small piece.

She tatted poking at the yogurt next and I handed over her spoon with some loaded on.

Despite the teething, Malina actually used her spoon to eat and didn’t do too much excessive chewing on the handle today.

So all in all a good day with a well rounded spread of foods actually eaten. It’s impressive to see how far Malina has gotten over the last two months and to know she’s gone from trying the foods to actually eating more of it.

So remember, even when things are really hectic, you are doing great and you’ve got this!
