Kallee Decides that food is good

Kallee has always had a strong will and knows what she likes and dislikes. At 6 months Jayden was ready for food and consumed it like wild fire.

Kallee was not as impressed with food. In fact she downright refused to eat. She would lock her jaw and move her face so that you were not in her line of vision.

These past few weeks... Grandpa and Nana Gebers have taken it upon themselves to work with Kallee and show her how good food can be. They started by processing carrots and low and behold Kallee started eating them. They have moved on to sweet potatoes and have feed her applesauce as well.

Alison introduced Banana's and BINGO!! We have a winner. Kallee is now a food lover... I could not feed her enough this past week. She is up to a half of a banana.

I think the thing is, she does not like baby food... I concur, I was not a fan of it either. Peas were also a tough sell.

Thank you for Grandparents who are willing to food process!!!

Kallee is also very much into the mobile stage. She has learned how to push herself up into a sitting position and so desperately wants to walk.. I believe that she will use anyone that she can to help her move around. I have pulled out the walkers to help her move, but last night proved unsuccessful. But Kallee and I will try try again.

I think this week is going to be sqaush and avocado's.

Go Food!!

Kallee Christmas



Kallee's Christmas was complete success.. Kallee may not have known exactly what was going on, but she definitely made out well. Kallee will be dressed well and will sleep comfortably in hew new clothes and Jammies. She may not love many of the toys she has now, but maybe someday. Kallee loves her brothers toys more. I think that Kallee did love to be around family. The Lee's and Rocky, Maverick and Dana Made Christmas Eve very special. There was a lot of joy and fun in the air. Kallee even made it till 9 o'clock that night... very late for her.

Christmas day brought more present opening, but as usual Kallee was much more interested in watching Jayden and his antics. She loves his trains and cars, especially when they are in her mouth.

Madeline was her best friend on Christmas Day at Grandpa Gebers as she took care of Kallee and helped her with her presents as did Jonah and Dawson. All the kids were so much fun to watch opening presents and playing with the toys. The food was fantastic and the whole season was wonderful.

Kallee is definitely growing at a fast pace. She has spurts of growth as I like to call them. She is now a moving fanatic. She tumbles and rolls and army crawls her way all around the house. She loves to have you hold her up so she can walk. She cannot hold her self up yet but she is getting there.

Kallee is also a real trooper. She was hit with a fever and cold and took it very well. She is not much of a complainer and is VERY strong willed. Just watch her try and eat....


Kallee makes me laugh and I can see so much of me in her. What a great present for me and Alison this year.
