Lately: Food! Solid food!

Solid here being a very loose term.

"Or, shall we say, liquid term?" Eric just said that. He did.


Emma tried solid food for the first time this week. And then for the second. And then the third.
I think it's going to stick.

We've started with banana -- mashed up really really well. Emma was so confused, at first. 
We've been putting her in her high chair and letting her play with her spoon during meal times for over a month now, so she couldn't get why we wouldn't let her have her spoon -- why we were the ones shoving it in her mouth. 
And the whole flavor and swallowing... weird. Just weird, you guys.

By the second day of banana, she was opening her mouth when I held it out with food on it, cooing and smiling.
Today I held the spoon, ready with food on it, to give her a break from the hard work of swallowing. She grabbed the spoon and dragged it to her mouth.
