Smorgasbord

OK, so I've been feeling kinda bad for Kaleb because he gets pretty much the same thing (some fresh banana, oatmeal, and juice, and sometimes toast) for breakfast every day. This is NOT due to a lack of trying new things. I've tried giving him Quaker instant oatmeal instead of the Gerber baby oatmeal. I've even tried the fruit & cream varieties. He doesn't like them. So I tried Cream of Wheat, again trying the fruity stuff as well as the plain. Nothing doing.

So TODAY I made him a scrambled egg, which he promtly spit out - and when I put some of it on his tray for HIM to try on his own, he picked it up and threw it on the floor. THEN I made him a piece of french toast. I put syrup on half and left half with just a little butter on it. He ate a couple bites, then he was all done. SO, I gave him some fresh banana while I made him some of his usual oatmeal. He ate the banana. But he didn't eat much of his oatmeal. THEN I got out one of his fruit & cereal bars, which he ate about 3 bites of. The ONLY thing he finished at breakfast today was his apple juice.

I'm running out of ideas. I've tried pancakes and waffles. He'll eat a couple bites but that's it.

Any suggestions??

Making a Splash

Put Kaleb in his kiddie pool for the first time today. We almost didn't get to go out because we had a short thundershower this afternoon. But once it cleared up, we headed for the pool....

Check out the cool swim trunks Kaleb got for his birthday from Aunt Nancy, Uncle Joe, and the kids!




What good is being in the pool if you can't make a splash?



A really GOOD splash requires some concentration......


He asked for some sunglasses and a couple of cute girls, but I told him he has to wait about 20 years....
