Naomi woke up on Thanksgiving Day in a wonderful mood! It was as though she knew that it was a special day =) Now that she knows how to roll over in both directions, she doesn't fuss when she's on her tummy. Mimi smiles and holds her head up high. She's probably going to be crawling very soon. I dressed her up in her cute lil "Jack and Janie" floral dress and we were ready to head off to South City for lunch.
Naomi and Meleia have been getting to know each other a lot more because we go to South City on Thursdays when Grandma takes care of Mia. I can't believe that Meleia can walk already!!!!
Naomi enjoyed her first Thanksgiving feast... not with turkey - but with sweet potatoes! We have been feeding Mimi solids since November 1st and introducing new foods to her very slowly. Before Thanksgiving, she tried green beans, peas, carrots and squash. I decided to give her sweet potatoes for the first time in the spirit of the holiday =) She really liked it!

I wanted Naomi to enjoy the tastes of vegetables before diving right into fruits because babies tongues are 10x more sensitive to sweets. I didn't want her to reject her veggies because they taste rather bland. I tried giving her some bananas the following day and she actually made a yucky face! It must have tasted waaay sweet, so I added some rice cereal and she ate it hesitantly. That evening, I gave her peas and brown rice for dinner and she ate it much more quickly - and with pleasure =) Naomi really likes her veggies! Now if only she would love that darn bottle, too... Pray for her, please!
