Banana Time!

Mom just couldn't wait till my 6 month birthday to give me some food. So two days before she ran to the food store and bought me some bananas. She was all about this hippie Baby Led Weaning thing, and gave me my banana in a mesh feeder bag.
 I was into it the first day because the bananas were so yummy. I hadn't had anything besides milk, my vitamins, and gripe water in 6 months! Minus the one time mom got crazy and put icing on my finger and then mash potatoes.
 I am getting so good with my hands I was even able to hold the bag myself!
 The next night mom left the peel on half of the banana and let me try to pick it up. I gummed it and was able to suck off some chunks of banana. It was such a new feeling! Mom said I made some crazy faces as I tried the new food.
 Then, the next night out of no where Mom put this thing called a spoon into my mouth. She decided she wanted to mash up the bananas and feed it to me. I still am getting the hang out it, but it was good!
 I was able to pick up my sippy cup on the first try. But, this whole getting water out of it is kind of hard. But, I will get there!
 I wasn't really feeling the bib, so Mom took it off and let me get messy. I am having lots of fun enjoying new foods. Mom and Dad said they are going to make it all fresh for me. I feel so special!
Mom said this next week I am going to try peaches, apples, and sweet potatoes! Yay!

Happy Valentines Day!

I woke up on my first Valentine's Day to find lots of sweet presents from Mom and Dad. I got so many new Sandra Boyton books and a Valentine's Day book too. Mom made me a cute mailbox and got me a cupcake plate to use when I start eating food! 9 days and counting!
 I can't wait to use my giraffe toy that pops the balls all around! 
 Look at the heart card Mom made with her hands. How did she know I love glitter just as much as her?
 I've got mail!
 I even got Dad a card for Valentines Day too! I signed it with my hand to make sure he knew it was from me.
I got to wear a cute outfit with a big heart on it.
 Dad tried to take photos of me, but I just wanted to grab my feet.
Grandma R. stopped by and brought me so many Valentines goodies from her and Ed. I got a new Sing-A-Ma-Jig, some new books, and this awesome toy. 
I tried out the new teethers she got me and I approve! My card even had a mirror on it so I could see myself! Mom put all of my cards in my room. 

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
