So, I had a father moment in the Toys R’ Us the other day. Sierra was fussing and not really enjoying the trip to the toy store so I figured there was something in the store that might have made her happy. I came across the coolest Christmas toys ever…Yoda and Chewbacca in Santa outfits! As soon as I put them next to the cart, her mood changed completely and she was laughing at these two characters staring at her. I choked up a little thinking “My girl likes Star Wars!” Needless to say, the look on my face changed our mind of not picking up something for Sierra for Christmas and we walked back home with Yoda in tow.

Not all moments are fun! This was the first time we were trying formula with Sierra. She was NOT a happy camper. I can’t blame her. She has allergies to cow’s milk protein and soy so we had to get some formula which I’m pretty sure is boiled down aluminum. Luckily, the next time we gave her the formula, we smartened up and mixed it with some breast milk. Over the next week, she has been getting used to it.

Trying out solid food (well, if you can call runny cereal ‘solid’) for the first time. She quite enjoyed it!
