Rice Cereal, Shmrice Shmereal

So.... according to our pediatrician, Eleanor is showing all sorts of signs that she is ready to start tasting foods... last week, we thought it would be fun to introduce rice cereal to see how she took to the idea (keep in mind, this child has tasted NOTHING besides her momma's milk and Mylecon since the day she was born)...

So cameras out, BJ and I were ready to make some great memories of watching her enjoy every last bite... enjoy these pictures as Eleanor makes it VERY obvious how she feels about rice cereal.

All started off great... she was wide-eyed and adorable watching Momma mix the little meal...
And our first bite!!!
You can tell she was quite skeptical :)...
Success - it stayed in her mouth!! (for about 3 seconds...)
Going in for bite #2.... Eleanor gives Momma the stiff arm! No, thank you...
Then proceeds to dump out every last bit from her mouth....
So we change settings.... literally, we were dying laughing at our drama queen....
"Y-U-C-K-Y Momma!"
"Seriously, this stuff is gross... not again?!""You are making me want to gag...."
"I can't believe you actually thought I would like this.... you don't know me at all." (While shaking her head in disappointment... bahahaha!)
Basically, the entire experience was HILARIOUS! We tried again a few days later to no avail.... she hates the stuff!!! Oh well, maybe we will try oatmeal :). Little girl, you rock.

How funny! Harper was the same way! She hated all kinds of cereal. I started putting a tiny bit of applesauce or pears in it to get her to eat it... which might be why my child has such a huge sweet tooth! OOPS!

Rector 2.0

So, on April 2, 2011, I woke up to this... I immediately showed Eleanor to confirm... "Momma, are you kidding me??!!" So, we held off telling our families until Easter and had a great plan to reveal Eleanor as the BIG SISTER at the dinner table... we didn't think about that lunch was right after her nap, so she was a little groggy and looks unhappy, but we couldn't keep it anymore.... So a few days later we tried to take some pictures again to prove that Eleanor is VERY excited! We can't wait to meet you, Baby Rector #2!! As of now, we look forward to November 22nd when you will enter this world... (you are due December 1, but because I will have a C-section, you birthday is currently scheduled for November 22!)... but we are SO thankful to the Lord for your life as you grow inside of Momma right now and we are praying FERVENTLY for you... same as we did for your precious, big sister... healthy baby, who chooses Jesus at an early age and never once doubts that Mom...

ALOOOOHA....

T hat's right friends - we are packing our bags and taking a little BABYMOON next month. BJ surprised me last week and had this little ditty all worked out... ...In fact I did work out all the details, only to rework them a week later after the final go-ahead from Karen. Her rationale was appreciated and wise, albeit not well recieved at first. I called her the fun-killer. Ironic I know... "I'm a fun girl!" her famous self proclamation. (this portion written by BJ) N ot going to lie - when BJ first told me about this trip I was a little stressed (it's the planner and realist in me)... I mean, our life is crazy - and obviously finances are about to go haywire when we get into our new house and bring baby home... but as a good reminder, I have been brought back down to earth in realizing that there will ALWAYS be an excuse, we have more freedom now then we probably will ever again and God has ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS been our Faithful provider... we have the funds, so i...

15 weeks...

So, I have become a blog stalker over this past year... it is just so easy to get onto trails from friend's blog lists until all of the sudden you are committed to reading a complete strangers musings daily. Creepy, I know. Regardless, one of my very favorite blogs that I started to follow actually did a spot on a family friend of mine (the blogger's sister-in-law) throughout her pregnancy... she took weekly pictures and both parents would write a letter / our thoughts to the baby / about the baby until she was born. I found myself crying every time I read what they would write and so anxious to see her weekly pictures... I am not going to be as fancy as what they did, but I do really love the idea of charting my body's changes, my emotional experience and prayers from beginning to birth... so go ahead and call me a copycat! 15 Weeks Whether it is noticeable to anyone else but me (I know BJ notices but he is nice and acts like I look the same), my body has changed so much ...
