This week has been an interesting one, to say the least. There were a few firsts for Ella.
- First taste of meat - turkey w/ gravy (yuck!). She loved it. And while I love turkey and gravy on Thanksgiving (or in adult form, for that matter), turkey and gravy baby food is dis-gus-ting. Her initial reaction was priceless - that confused "what the hell is this?" look. Kind of makes you wonder what was going through her mind!
- First time she scooted backwards across the floor. She was so proud of herself. My first thought? "Shit. I need to babyproof.... now!"
- First time with a sippy cup. When she finally figured out what it was and how she was to use it, she got a look of disgust on her face when she realized it was filled with water. Immediately following that look of disgust was a loud, piercing scream followed by crying. I could just see her saying "What the hell is this mom?! It's not my formula!"
- First taste of salt & vinegar chips. This one was by accident. I was eating them. She grabbed one. I decided to see what she would do. She called my bluff and stuck it in her mouth. She loved it. No silly face, no puckering... just a huge, toothless smile. I love my daughter to death, but man, what kind of baby likes salt & vinegar chips. A weird one. I blame her father :)
Seeing all these firsts this week was very exciting. I'm soaking them all up, anxiously awaiting the next one. Ella was 16lbs, 10 oz, and 26.5" long at her 6 month appointment this week. My little girl is getting so big! :)
