Keeping Up with the Neimas

Saya's First Tooth

2010-03-09T19:34:00.000-07:00

We were wondering why Saya was putting everything she could in her mouth, and sure enough it was a tooth. She now has one tooth growing in on her bottom gum. It's very exciting but also quite sad that she is growing so fast. No pictures yet as it's hard to get a pic of her tooth without her tongue getting in the picture. We'll post one later when the tooth is fully grown in.

Homemade Baby Food

2010-03-09T18:49:00.000-07:00

I made some sweet potatoes for Saya and she seems to like it. Not sure if it's cost effective yet as I had to buy baby food jars. Thank goodness for McGuckins! They were the only ones who sold freezer safe 4 oz jars by Ball. After pureeing and sterlizing jars, I made 11 4oz jars to store in the freezer. Yeah!

Sweet Potatoes!

2010-03-09T08:02:00.001-07:00

Saya's first solid food. As we learned, sweet potatoes stains are not easy to get out. Saya seems to like them so we'll deal with soiled clothing for now. Not sure if the potatoes are what are causing the blow outs.

New Bumbo Tray

2010-03-06T15:36:00.000-07:00

Mom had a good time at Target and bought a bit too much including this Bumbo tray attachment. Works great for feeding but tough to get Saya out afterwards. We give it about 3 out of 5 stars.

Priceless!

2010-03-04T17:24:00.003-07:00

20% rice cereal on her bib, 40% on the rest of her body and 40% on mommy. Priceless!

Hinamatsuri!

2010-03-03T18:48:00.005-07:00

Made a little chirashi sushi and some ohagi all for Saya.

Saya's First Hinamatsuri

It's Girls Day today in Japan. We're going to celebrate with some Japanese food (hopefully I can make it ok). Here is Saya in her Girls Day outfit. Too cute!

So Far So Good

2010-02-19T09:52:00.000-07:00

Today we got a call from Saya's ped and her results from her bloodwork are normal. So happy, we did a little happy dance in the kitchen. Let's hope the second round will be just just as great.

Saya's Cute Outfit

2010-02-17T17:27:00.001-07:00

It's been months of sleepers and onesies. Now it's time for the outfits. We tried on the CUTE outfit today on our walk. Too cute!

Saya's Boo Boo

2010-02-17T17:25:00.002-07:00

We needed to get some bloodwork done for Saya. She was a trooper! It hurt mommy more than it hurt her. One more round to go!

Saya's First Solid Food - Rice Cereal

2010-02-14T12:44:00.003-07:00

Happy Valentine's day! Today was Saya's first attempt at rice cereal- a very special day. We've been practicing feeding her with formula so it was a great time. Here are some pictures of baby and her rice cereal.

Tummy time with a twist.

Sushi Night

2010-02-12T09:09:00.001-07:00

Our first outing with Saya. We celebrated Valentine's day a bit early as we thought a weeknight would be a better night for dinner with Saya. We went to our favorite restaurant- Sushi Yoshi. The food was great and Saya was so well behaved. We're so proud of her!

Saya and Her Silver Spoon

2010-02-09T09:46:00.000-07:00

It's almost time to start Saya on rice cereal. We got some great advice from friends who recommended we feed formula with a spoon to get Saya ready. We fed her with her Tiffany's silver spoon. How lucky is she. We got it as a gift from her cribmate. How sweet are they!

Saya's Wooden Teether

2010-02-09T09:44:00.002-07:00

Everything goes in the mouth. She loves her new wood teethers- Had to get two just in case we lose one.
