It's been 3 months since I been back to work. I started easing Callie off the breast feeds and just use a bottle first thing in morning and right before bed. She's been eating baby food now for 2 weeks now. So I've been giving her baby food during the day. She's at the stage where I show her witch baby food and she points to witch one she wants.
"Callie. Banana. Pears."
She points to the Banana flavor.
"Good choice."
I feed Callie with sound effects to get her excited for her food. Then after I feed her I get her ready for her doctors check up. We get to the doctors.
"Ms. Foster. Callie is doing wonderful she is growing beautifully and strong."
"That is great news. She's started eating solid foods 2 weeks ago."
"That is good. I'd like to see her in 6 months"
Me and Callie go home after the doctors and I put her down for nap and I just watch some TV a little bit while she is napping. After she wakes up I bring her to the Living room and we play peek a boo for a little bit then I put her in the bouncer while I make mac and cheese for myself and get her carrots for her dinner. I feed her then I put her in the play pen while I eat my dinner then I just love on her and give me baby girl kisses. I just hold her. Then when she falls asleep I put her to bed then I jump in the shower then I go to bed myself.
For the next 6 months we been doing the same routine where I would change her and give her a bottle when she wakes up my mom would come over on the days I have to work I say goodbye to her then my mom watches her while I work then when I get home I love on my baby girl make dinner and give my baby girl dinner let her play in her play pen while I eat then I just hold and love on her while I watch some tv until she falls asleep then I put her to bed then I would go to bed then do the same thing all over again. On Sundays I would take Callie to see my dad for a couple of hours. When she was 9 months I started to work with her to teach her words. It was a couple of days before It was Callie's 1st birthday.
"My baby girl is gonna be 1 year old. Yay!"
"Aay."
"Were gonna have cake and ice cream. Yay!"
"Aay."
"Mommy's gonna get you presents."
"Mum."
"That right i'm mommy."
"Mum."
"It's so good to hear you say that."
I am so happy that my baby girl is starting to talk and she recognizes who I am. I just love my baby girl. 2 day later my baby girl's birthday finally came. My parents came to Callie's birthday we had cake and ice cream then we helped her open her presents because she couldn't do it on her own yet. After her birthday I had the whole weekend off so I took Callie to the beach and pushed her in the stroller on the boardwalk for a little while. There was a fair that was going on and I ran into a few of my co workers.
"Hey stef."
"Hey guys."
"Is this the famous Callie you can't stop talking about."
"Yes the one and only."
"She is so adorable."
"Thank you."
"How is she."
"She just had her 1st birthday."
"That is nice. Once she get's 1 and half and start to learn to walk you will have your hands full because she will be getting into everything and it will be hard for you to keep up with her."
"I've heard about that and I've also heard that a few babies are really good and never get into stuff. Maybe my baby girl will be the one that is the good baby and don't get into things."
After the boardwalk me and Callie went home and we had some chicken nuggets with macaroni and cheese since she was able to eat some finger foods now. After we ate dinner we just watched some TV Then I gave Callie a bath and got her ready for bed. Then I went to bed myself.
