Leche con Jalapenos

Ok funny story. Not sure how many of you cut peppers much. Well, you should wear gloves. I ignorantly chopped away without them over Thanksgiving, until I began feeling the burn. This has happened to me before, I knew better, but thought it would be fine. Well, burning hands (that also burn your eyes, nose and lips when touched) are one thing in normal life. But entirely another when nursing a baby. I won't get into too many details, but while Kaiya WILL love Mexican food, she's not ready for her inauguration into jalapenos on her mouth yet. So...the only possible solution? Wear gloves while nursing. Fed my child 3 times in row with big old fleece gloves on. Oh, Heidi.

Once I realized the burn was coming, I had Mark finish the chopping. He felt badly so expressed his love through the jalapenos. :)

Gloves and nursing cover. A winning combination.

Kaiya is so delightful. She has started smiling up a storm. She must not know that she has had a runny nose and baby acne for the better part of her life.

This so captures Ava's personality. I love this picture.
