Malta

Should I really post this? I am going out on a limb by doing so. However, this lightened mine and Cephas' evening, so maybe it will yours too.

Here is our darling, drinking her first Malta. For those of you who don't know, Malta Goya is a Malt flavored beverage. The process  to make it is similar to beer, but it is non-alcoholic. It is very sweet though, and similar to soda, so probably not the best drink for your 9 month old. But, we gave it to her anyway, I mean, you can't be 100% organic all the time.

I think the stuff is gross, but she liked it and kept wanting more

Notice the brown around her neck. She got a little excited and spilled it on her first drink.

This last picture is a little blurry, but shows her newest trick... pointing. She started a week or so ago and now points at everything.
Stay tuned, I am working on a Christmas post, I tried to take pictures the other day but Cara spit up on her outfit before we got any taken.

This Morning

I had the perfect morning:
7:00am-Wake up (I know, it is early, but Cara is used to getting up)
7:05am-Change dirty diaper
7:07am-Suck Cara's brains out (or at least she thought I was trying to kill her-but her nose was stuffy and she needed to breathe)
7:10am-Feed Cara a bottle
7:20am-8:00am-Cara and Mommy fall back asleep on the couch (this is very unusual, Cara almost never goes back to sleep in the mornings, at least not since she was like 4 months old!)
8:15am-Daddy comes to get Cara and takes her back to bed while Mommy makes coffee (Yes, I am now a coffee drinker, but am hoping I do not become addicted like my parents)

When I went in to take this picture, Cara immediately started crying, I don't know why she does that. Anytime she is with Cephas, she cries when she sees me. If I am not in the room, then she is fine, and when he takes care of her while I am working, she is fine. The doctor says it is normal, but I seem to think there is something wrong. Needless to say, I could not take the time to get a good picture because I didn't want to ruin their bonding time.

It was nice to spend the extra few minutes with her this morning since I am working this weekend. I always miss her the most on the weekends because I know I am missing a lot more of her time awake than at night, when she is just sleeping.

No, this is not an advertisement for Gerber or Earth's Best, just a picture to show how much "jarred" baby food I have in the house. I have gotten sort of burned out on making homemade baby food. It is sort of like the cloth diapers. I was really excited at first, but it seems like "life" got in the way. Although we use cloth on a part time basis, it is not like I thought it would be. It is the same way with the baby food, I thought Cara would very rarely have baby food from a jar, but now, she has eaten it for almost 2 weeks straight. I have to tell myself, at least it is organic!  

These are the pears my mom gave me to make pearsauce out of over the weekend. So, at least Cara will get something fresh very soon.
