Guess who had their first taste of solid food this Saturday morning! We had the camera poised and ready to go. Please do focus only on the babe and not on her robe-clad, unshowered mama. But that's just how we roll on the weekends. :)
She took a 1:3 ratio mixture of Earth's Best oatmeal cereal to milk. Loved it! Soon we'll try our hand at purees. I have my baby food maker ready to roll.
Later that afternoon, she attended a friend's first birthday party. Oh my goodness, there was a baby ball pit, and she was in LOVE with it. Hellllooooo, Santa gift! I've already added the inflatable pool and the 100-pack of balls to my Amazon list of Christmas gifts to buy. We aren't buying her a lot of gifts this year, but at $37 for this combo is a pretty good price, and especially since we can get double-duty and use the inflatable pool in the summer.
She ended up starting her afternoon nap earlier than we expected, so we got her home as quickly as we could to try to keep that nap going.
Later that afternoon, I scooted out for a quick bit to check out the Vintage Charlotte pop-up market at The Fillmore. Ian stayed with Camille, and it was nice to walk around the market for an hour without having to push a bulky stroller around. We hung out with friends that night until it was time to get home and feed the baby and heat up some leftover pizza. Crazy Saturday night :)
Sunday consisted of a lot of laundry! After some quick trips to Homegoods and Michaels, I stayed home with the babe while Ian went to the Panthers game with a buddy. Camille took short naps and I used some of that time to work on her baby album and fold clothes.
The most exciting load of laundry that I did (never let me say that phrase again) was our new flannel sheets. Per Elise's recommendation, I bought us some flannel sheets and could not resist the scottie dog pattern. And you can't beat $24.99 for king-sized sheets. Plus, FREE shipping now! They are now on our bed and our first time sleeping on them will be tonight. I can't wait to call it a night and snuggle up in bed with a book.
That's about all that's going on here. I am excited to share my Christmas wishlist tomorrow and hope you'll link up with us for the My Favorite Things linkup ... if you missed the details, catch 'em here.
she did so well! Both my kids were disgusted! LOL!
ReplyDeletealso, you totally sound like me in my videos "6 months and one day". I do that too. ha
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE our flannel sheets! We've had them the bed since September. Let me know what you think about the Target ones, that price is great!
ReplyDeleteThat video is priceless! Sweet, pretty girl loving that food! :) And YAYAYAY for your first night on the sheets. I'm excited for you. For real. xx
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that video is so adorable! Looking forward to those moments in the future!
ReplyDeleteshe seemed to really like it. what a cutie. Millie is getting a "lite" Christmas this year, she has way too many toys for our small house. lol
ReplyDeleteHer reaction on the video is priceless. She just can't get enough! That ball pit is a genius idea.
ReplyDeleteOh that video is adorable. She is too cute!!
ReplyDeleteBALL PIT!!!!!! Oh my gosh. Adding that to C's Xmas list. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteYay for Camille! It looks like you all had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteBoth of my flannel sheet sets are from target and they are the best! I've had mine for several years- they hold up well, are warm, cozy and an unbeatable price. Might have to snag another pattern this year!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness- she did GREAT with that food! Baby ball pit is on our wish list too- we have friends that have one that's kind of meshy and "enclosed" so the kid can go nuts with the balls and it doesn't go flying all ove rthe room!

ReplyDeleteHow fun! She is adorable!! And that baby ball pit is a great gift idea for our niece, I may have to copy :)
ReplyDeleteLove that pool & ball set!! So fun & love that it's versatile! & you can't beat that $37 price tag!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! And she loved the ball pit, that's awesome. She's getting so big!
ReplyDeleteFleece sheets are maybe my favorite part of winter...except they make it impossible to get out of bed in the morning! So cozy!
ReplyDeleteGirl I jumped out of bed this morning and told my husband to take me to Target for those sheets. On our way now! Haha. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI may have to pick up some flannel sheets! How cute that she was trying to grab your hands for more!
ReplyDeleteohh flannel sheets are so cozy! xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteso cute! that baby ball pit is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWe've got a new heated mattress pad on the way to our doorstep! I can't hardly wait until it arrives!
Camille is so sweet eating her oatmeal! Love it:) I remember when Caleb had oatmeal for the first time, and his reaction was so similar - he loved it, and was trying to eat the spoon as well!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely going to need an update on those sheets. Just $25 for a king? Amazing. If they are as cozy as they look, I'll be tempted to buy them in every pattern!!! We have one set and LOVE them, but they are getting pretty old and worn out so it may be time to update!
Love the holiday sheets! We also got the scotty dog ones this year and I can't wait to put them on! Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteOh my word i feel like she will be practically feeding herself by tomorrow! haha too too cute! I just put brand new flannels on the bed last week and COULD NOT be happier! NEVER want to leave bed!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! She was so ready for that food. :) That is the sweetest little video! Sounds like y'all had a great weekend. Purees are so much fun, too. We used a food processor, and baby girl loved the foods! I also just used an ice tray to portion out the food, too. Easy peasy! She would eat two cubes of whatever we made after each milk session. ;) Happy eating, sweet C!
ReplyDeleteomg that video is SOOOO cute!!!
ReplyDeletelove that ball pit! oh my goodness, checking out those sheets now.
ReplyDeleteAww, yay Camille! That video was just too cute. She did such a great job! It'll be fun with the purees too! Since we started with oatmeal, we tried sweet potatoes and peas. I'm waiting to see that disgusted face.. but she loves everything! She must be her daddy's daughter for sure... haha. :)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!! She loved it. And her reaching out for it was just the cutest!! Glad y'all had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI can check if the ornaments are cheaper here for you, if you want... I mean I do live in the land from which they come!
ReplyDeleteBaby ball pit -- fabulous idea! I just ordered the set you suggested for my granddaughter for Christmas -- it's the perfect gift! I think she'll enjoy it a lot more than the U Fund we're setting up for her...at least for the time being!
ReplyDeleteThe video was too sweet! I am loving those Holiday flannel sheets and at only $24.99?? SOLD!!
