Food for Thought

Greetings! In the past week or so, we've introduced Kori to the next level of food, cereals and solids. To be honest, I'm not sure why it's called solids. The consistency of the carrots, peas, and sweet potatoes are about 1 tablespoon of water away from being pure liquid. Anywho, she's taken to the transition pretty well. Next to bath time/naked time, numming on some nummers (feeding) is my favorite thing to do with the little one. I know my vocab is completely off the grid, but she has the ability to turn you into the giddiest nerd in the world. And yes, I've tasted everything she has year-to-date with the exception of breast milk. In her defense, those peas were awful, especially cold. We'll have to give them another try this week at a warmer temperature. For my viewing pleasure, I prefer to see how messy her face can get before wiping her down. The messier she gets the cuter she gets and the more fun I have numming. I know it's selfish, right? Adjustments will need to be made on my part since Stacey informed me that she stores some of the food in one of her chins, and I'm pretty sure we found some in her nose AFTER A BATH. Live and learn!
On a side note, Stacey has somehow found a way to get the giggles out of her. I mean I'll get lucky every now and again, but I'm not as consistent as Stacey or as I like to be. Happy for the girls, frustrating for me. For those of you who know me can trust that I will find a way even if I have to search google for ideas.
I believe that's all for now. There is no way to capture an entire Kori week in a few paragraphs, but those are the highlights. Kori kisses xxx (That will hurt my guy status for sure)

Roll the pics...

                                          Trying to eat her hand and spoon at the same time

                                           That wasn't the best bite

                                          I'm ready for my veggies

                                            Keep 'em comin

                                            yummmmmm

                                             Dad got some carrots on his face too

This is what happens after 2 bowls of rice cereal, a jar of carrots, a bottle of  milk and rolling all over the living room floor (I think she was in mid-roll)

Once upon a time...

Welcome all! Thanks for taking an interest in Kori's story. Stacey and I have had an absolute blast over the last 4 months and feel extremely blessed to be the authors of such a wonderful tale. We felt a blog would be a proper venue to show our appreciation to such a loving network of family and friends. Plus, it never gets old bragging about your kid especially when you have one that  is so stinking cute. I mean I already want to buy her a car...that's how much trouble I am in.
Anyway, my focus is to keep things short and sweet in fear that I may lose you if I try to cram 4 months in my first post. I will say that we crossed over to big girl food this weekend (i.e. rice cereal and sweet potatoes). As tough as it is, I'm going to limit the focus to a Halloween recap and spare you the Hallmark novel about how I'm the proudest, luckiest pappa in the world. Every good dad has that story BUT it's not A Kori Story.


Finally, yesterday was Kori's first Halloween and ours as parents. Based off Kori's reaction to the bumble bee costume, it must have been a bad batch of honey. It was almost like the costume sucked every bit of emotion out her cause we saw nothing but blank stares.....Stacey may argue differently. Even so, she was the cutest bee I've ever laid eyes on, and I'm pretty sure there are a few neighbors that could say the same. The holiday only lasted about an hour (4 houses) for her, but it was good experience. Stacey introduced her to the pumpkin patch among other things. Next Halloween should be a little more eventful I would think.  Here are some pictures of the past week.



Well, until next time...
