On the topic of firsts...

...we have two new additions:

We started the new year by letting Ellie try self-feeding. We bought a product called "Graduates Finger Foods" - little, banana-flavored pieces of cereal. We give her a few each day and she swats them around on her tray, picks them up on occasion and every once in a while she even gets one in her mouth - she's still working on the whole manual dexterity thing; but, it falls under the heading of firsts, nonetheless.

Last night, Ellie rode like a big girl as we went through the grocery store. We strapped her into the front part of the cart with a little device nanny picked up on consignment and we shoved some towels on either side of her for additional support. She handled it all very well as we made a full trip through the store without incident.

You guys should try the Puffs from Gerber. They dissolve in the baby's mouth. She could feed herself with those and Kinsey loved them!!
