Cami LOVES solid food.  She seems to know when it's dinner time (around 6pm).  Even if she's had a bottle within the last 30 minutes, she is ready for yummy food.  Right now she's eating breakfast at daycare - typically 4 oz. of fruit with oatmeal.  For dinner we usually have 4 oz. each of 2 different fruits or veggies and then a serving of multi grain cereal.  Cami is a little piggy at night and I swear she would eat more if we tried but I think 10 oz. is plenty for her right now!


Lately she's started taking a bit more formula so I think it's time to introduce lunch.  I started today with 4 oz. of veggies around lunch time and she ate most of it.  Hopefully it will become a part of the routine.  


Cami is drinking 4 6 oz. bottles of formula routinely and then sometimes she'll take an additional 4-5 oz. right when we get home from daycare.  When she takes the extra bottle I use a sippy cup instead.  She does well with one kind I have because the spout is silicone like her bottle nipples.  I have a sippy cup with a stiffer spout and she doesn't seem to care for it.  Cami also efficiently holds her bottle.  I lay her in the boppy and she can drink the whole bottle all by herself.


Fruits we've tried to date:  Apples, Avocados, Bananas, Blueberries, Mangoes, Peaches, Pears, Prunes, Pumpkin


Vegetables we've tried to date:  Butternut Squash, Carrots, Green Beans, Peas, Sweet Potatoes, Zucchini


Cami is sleeping really well too.  Bedtime is between 7-7:30 pm on school nights and sometimes a bit later on the weekend.  We wake her up at 6:40 am for daycare and on the weekends it seems she wakes anytime between 6:30 and 7:30 am.  Very rarely will she sleep later than that.  Cami is still taking about two naps a day.  Her naps at daycare are never consistent but at home she'll usually nap about an hour in the morning and then a good 2-3 hours in the afternoon.  I'm hoping at the new daycare she'll nap a little better.


Cami has started reaching and grabbing a lot more.  Whenever we sit down at restaurants she immediately starts grabbing at everything she can get her hands on.  She loves chewing the corners of our menus if we let her.  Sometimes Cami will even reach to be picked up...it's rare, but it's happened!


Everyday she gets more and more personality...I love it.  I can't wait to see how much she keeps changing and growing.
