Videos

I'm pretty sure I also said I would never put videos of my kid up, but, hey, I think these 2 are pretty adorable. The second is about a week or 2 ago (when he wasn't sick!) and the other is from last night.

What do I eat?

I am pretty sure I swore I would never put a video of my child eating, but whatever. This humble pie I can swallow. I know my family likes to see what is happening in the little guy's life and food is a bit part of it! And that is also why I have a separate baby blog, for those not interested in these little details of life.

After being up 5x in one night, I was ready to try anything, so I had a few samples of baby food, so I gave him carrots and that night he slept through! Since then we are convinced that even a little bit of 'solid' food is helping him sleep better. He can go anywhere from 5-10 hours without a feeding. Yes, oh, yes!

Why do I start with carrots and not cereal? Because that is what they do here. I never thought a thing about it and it worked, so I'm happy. I have now added apples and bananas. I bought pears to introduce this week, but mostly he has veggies.

I plan to make my own baby food. So far what I have made is acceptable to Mateo. I use my Beaba Babycook (on loan from my SIL) and steam up those veggies or fruit, then blend them and put them in ice cube trays, then store the cubes in a container.

Video: Found!

I found my version of the video of when we told my parents...it is just from a different angle than the previously posted one. I wanted to put it on the internet, so hopefully it is always safe from a computer crash!

Baby Announcement

Here is the completely-unstaged film of when we announced it to the family. Kind of embarrasing, but kind of funny and very loveable!

I just discovered that my brother was filming, so this is his copy. I'm getting scared because I can't find the clip I filmed on my computer!
