Baby Cereal

離乳食のお役立ちアイテムのひとつが、これ。ベビーシリアルです。お湯でまぜるだけで、あっという間に離乳食ができてしまう。これだけでは味が単調なので、すりおろしにんじんやほうれん草を混ぜたりしてあげてます。里帰りでアメリカに行くと、まとめ買いしてくるのがこれです。

At the farm

We were at Thanksgiving Point and went to the farm.
みんなで、Thanksgiving Pointのファームに行きました。


Ellie was too scared of animals. She only liked to watch bunnys but from the distance (as you can tell from the picture...)
エリは、動物が「こわーい。」のです。近寄ろうともせず、ウサギだけは自分から見たいといったものの、3メートルは確実に離れて見ておりました。

Baby Food Tip

I make my own baby food, like carrots, rice, squash (Kabocha), etc. Then, I store them in ice cube tray to freeze. Once it is frozen, you take it out and put them in a ziplock bag. This way, I can store them in a cube and defros as many as I need. This strategy has been working very well. I do this with everything now and it is very handy, especially when you don't have time.
This is just a tip for Moms!


離乳食の保存方法で、うちは一度にたくさん作って製氷トレーで凍らせます。そうすると、取り出すときには氷のサイズになり、Ziplockバッグに入れて冷凍室に入れておくと場所もとらずとーっても便利。さらに使うときには氷サイズだから、初期のベビーの量にぴったり。すっごく便利な方法です。
ジュリアは、おかゆをはじめ、ほうれん草、にんじん、かぼちゃ、サツマイモ、ジャガイモ等々を食べていましたが、最近はお魚やお肉も好きで、たらやささみのひき肉も食べてまーす。

Ellie and Julia rolling around.

JuJu likes to get on top of Ellie. They like rolling around on the floor.
最近、ジュリアはエリの上に乗るのが好きです。2人で床をころがりまわってます。

Ellie can put jammies on by herself!

Ellie: I can put my own jammies by myself! It's a little tough to put through my feet, but I can do it!
The tough part is my bummy. I always need Daddy's help on this. But you know what!? I think I can do it this time!!

Ohakamairi


We went to Ohakamairi with Jiji and Baba. We visited relatives and met anties. Ellie wanted to play at Fuji cemetary more, but had to rush to Antie Keiko's for lunch. At Antie Keiko's we always have to eat, eat and eat.

お墓参りにいきました。じぃじとばぁばも一緒です。いつものコースで、富士霊園経由三島です。おばさんたちにも会えました!富士霊園ではもっと遊びたかったんだけど、けいこおばさんのごはんが次だったので、あんまり遊べませんでした。
