Now tagless for your comfort.

Sometimes I wish I could just take a timeout for myself, stop time for a bit, and come back when I'm ready to deal with life again.

Truer words were never typed.

OK, I celebrated the non-gestational diabetes with a scoop of Dove vanilla ice cream and now the baby is doing the merengue.

How's Lily doing with the food? Anything new?

She rejected applesauce today.

If it weren't for the slight "Child, you've got to learn to eat sometime!" panic, it would be hilarious. As it is, it's just funny.

I put the applesauce on the spoon and tried it without cereal. Got it to her lips, where she tasted it and frowned. Tried again. Lips seal shut. Add cereal, in case it's a texture thing. Lips remain sealed. Hand her the spoon to play with, because sometimes, she'll eat what's on the spoon while playing with it.

Not this time.

Lily wipes spoon on hand. Puts to mouth. Decides that there's still too much apple on spoon, and wipes on hand again before happily chewing on the now-foodless utensil.

Thus far, the only thing she's even appeared to not dislike is blueberries, and they make her butt unhappy. This feeding thing, it's a slow process.

Trust my rage

Yum! I never keep ice cream in the house because I have no will power that way, but it sounds so good. I'm so glad for the good news.

If it weren't for the slight "Child, you've got to learn to eat sometime!" panic, it would be hilarious.

Sounds very, very cute (as all things Lilybean). FWIW, I had a friend whose daughter refused solid food until she was maybe 9-10 months old. The pediatrician kept bugging my friend about it, but her daughter was growing so no one worried that much.

I only buy one pint of ice cream at a time in order not to go crazy. I'm hoping DH finished this pint off so I'm not tempted to eat any more.

Babies are weird.

I hope Lily does learn to enjoy foods soon, but this image is just too cute.

And of course, while we were eating dinner, she was LURCHING towards the Forbidden Pasta.

Weirdo! Such a weirdo.

Yeah, my worry's not so much about growth (as she still seems to be growing nicely) as it is about her food situation when I eventually go back to work and she's in daycare. Obviously, I can't detach the boobie and send it with her. I was hoping she'd take to the sippy cup, but no such luck yet.

Cute, biteable toes and I love the glasses!
