elin is 10 months today! if i could bottle this time in a jar i would for any price. she is so very sweet, cuddly and always happy. eating and sleep (except at daycare) come really easy for her too and she's grown partial to table food over baby food. she has 2 teeth on the top coming in to join the 2 on the bottom. and i'll bet that there will be 2 more on the top soon. i made my first trip to purchase hair clips the other day and loved every minute. her hair is long enough to hang in her eyes in the front and i'm hoping that starting the hair clips early will get her used to them so she won't pull them all out down the road.
this is elin in her partial down dog. just had to post it so everyone could check out those thighs!
here are buxton, vivan, wynnie and elin after some recent time in the pool. vivan is seriously almost as big as elin! it's so fun to have them all together.
since getting buxton to eat is an everyday challenge i had to post this picture of one night that he actually cleaned his plate. he had whole wheat noodles covered in a butternut squash puree, topped with cheese, and some chicken. i've been using the Deceptively Delicious cookbook to hide veggies in his food and i promise you he acts so much better when he eats balanced meals. one thing he loves is applesauce. so i add pureed beets, cinnamon and a little stevia and he eats it like crazy. homemade pizza with spinach is always a sure thing too.
it takes a lot of time and energy to focus on Buxton's eating, but it pays off when he cleans his plate and i know that everything he ate was good for him. another thing i've learned is that eating before 6pm usually leads to more food being eaten and less tantrums. no i don't have a personal chef that gets dinner on the table before 6 when i work until 5. but i would love one!
here is a quick shot of buxton's new big boy room. he's done so well in his new bed and seems very proud of it.
