Jeff is a career military officer, and Karen works for a family services program for the Army. We live in Monterey, California. We are making this blog for our family and friends who we miss and want to share our life with.

First day of daycare

Moira started daycare on Friday. She did well. She played with the other babies. She refused to take a bottle so I had to go and nurse her. She wouldn't drink from a bottle when I went back to work and stayed home with Jeff, so this isn't surprising. As Jeff would say, "she likes her milk from the tap, not from the can." Other than that, she seemed pretty happy. She has a lot of new toys to play with and new friends. She was playing with the director's baby who is 2 weeks older than her. They were both giggling at each other and making cute faces during the afternoon.

Moira started eating foods last week. Her first food is avocados. The first time she didn't quite know what to do, but each time after that she's gotten better. She wolfed down half of a mashed avocado today. We'll be adding yams in a few days.

JJ realized that Dada is at work and not coming home soon this morning. We knew he would realize it eventually. Each time he asks for Jeff, we tell him that Jeff is at work which is the truth. JJ is just starting to have a concept of time. He loves taking a bath. He knows when its dark outside he can take a bath, so he tells us "dark outside bath or water" when he wants a bath. (He wants a bath all day long :) )

Today he realized that dada has not come home from work. We've been watching YouTube movies through Directv on our TV which is helping. He now asks for "dada TV." We were able to Skype with Jeff tonight and that helped too. Its hard to see my little boy crying for daddy and trying not to cry along with him. We are closer to him coming home with each day.
