Tales From the High Chair

As I put Kennedy in her high chair after her mega  long nap today (4 hours!) I realized that I had not put any pictures of her in it.  As I write this I realize that I am lying to you, because I posted a picture of her watching BYU football in it.  Whatever.  I'm posting these pictures anyway.  We have really enjoyed the Fisher Price Rainforest line, and have 3 different items from it.  I loved the high chair because it came with the nifty tree toy that attaches to the tray and lights up, makes noise, and moves.  It is wonderful for distracting Kennedy while I get her food ready.
As you can see, she was not in a smiley mood because she had just woken up.  Plus, she is fascinated by cameras and can do nothing but look with interest when one is around.  Her eating habits are great though.  Apart from her bottles she eats 3 meals of solid food a day.  She eats cereal in the morning (today it was oatmeal with cinnamon), a vegetable for lunch (squash) and a fruit for dinner (apples).  We are getting ready to move her up to 2nd foods next week, which is exciting because she can start having mixtures of foods and meats.  But the canned meats gross me out, so I'm going to make my own.  If it's not too nasty, maybe I'll do a post on that when I make it.
She loves her food!  She has tried everything in first foods except prunes (because pears also help with constipation and she had some serious issue with those.  I wasn't brave enough to try the prunes after that fiasco) and peas.  I added cinnamon to her oatmeal the other day and she devoured it, as she has done every morning since.  She is also finally starting to sit up for longer than 2 seconds on her own, and she pushes herself up on her knees like mad when she's on her tummy, so I'm waiting for her to break out the crawl any day now.

Oh my goodness, she looks so much older all of a sudden! What a cutie! Jackson has been the same with camera's, way to intriguing to smile! Thankfully that phase is over. Have fun in Texas, I know your daddy is gonna be so glad to see you!

She is so cute! I have heard great things about that rainforest line! How nice to have a good eater. We still have to do handstands to make our child eat he is soooo picky! I still cant believe how much hair so has, more than some 2 year old i know!

I spent hours in Target today and somehow spent lots of that in the baby section, even without any babies of my own. There are some really cute converse sparkly flats that you should get for Kennedy. Or the tutu. Not that a tutu is practical, it's just too cute.

That's awesome that's she's such a good little eater! She's so cute in the second picture, it looks like she's doing a super model pose, haha. Sounds like she's going to be crawling all over the place soon.

That tree is awesome. I wish they made toys like that for adults.
