the finer things in life

Lily is discovering that there is more to life than just laying on her back and drinking milk.

We tried solid foods for the first time a week and a half ago. She wasn’t too sure about the rice cereal at first, but now she really enjoys it (but only if it is really runny).  August 10, 2010_4142

She also LOVES bananas when we put them in the mesh eater.

It is a BIG mess but she can’t get enough of them!August 13, 2010_4227

She also likes fresh pears in the mesh thing but not baby-food-pears. I can only get her to eat them if they’re mixed with rice cereal. The same with carrots – mostly rice cereal with a little carrots.

With the whole bottle fiasco from our Utah trip we decided it might be time to try a sippy cup. It’s been a success! She isn’t really good at keeping her mouth closed so she ends up having a milk bath. But we’ll take that over screaming any day! We’re going to put it to the test this weekend when we drive back to Utah. Wish us luck!

Lily is sitting up all by herself now! Our little girl is a fast learner and can stabilize herself really well, even when Daddy is shaking the bed!

She is SUPER PROUD of herself! And we are too!

I have one of those mesh eaters too but I have never had abby try it before, guess I should give it to her and see how it goes.
