A Taste of Something New

Looking back through Maya's journal we realized that Maya had started cereal/veg at about 4 1/2 months. Danny and I were recalling Maya's intense interest in our food and how she would grab our plate/fork/drink/etc. The past month or so we've been wondering when Fin was going to start getting interested. We imagined it would be soon because she is approaching the six month mark.

Of course the kids are different and do things according to their own time but we did realize that we probably have a lot to do with the timing of this difference. When Maya was little (0-4 months) she was always in one of our laps or on the bouncy seat on the table while we ate. She was close to the action and observed us non-stop. Let's just say Fin hasn't had the same experience. She often spent meal times bouncing in her Einstein or once in a while in the Bumbo on the table--but 3 people eating, the meal, and Fin on the table makes for a very full table.

We finally got the highchair out mid-December because I was feeling guilty that she wasn't a part of our meals and lo and behold...someone's interest in our food has suddenly increased. So, we finally gave it a test run!

Enjoy!

She knows something is up! She's giving us "that" look.



The approach. And yes, "that" look is still present.



Mostly around the mouth...and of course "that" look...



The Dodge. But she's giving someone the stink eye.


Oooo...seriously...do you want to mess with her?
