Success!

This morning, we had another happy bath AND success at eating! We decided to try rice cereal, which is what is traditionally given to babies as a first food. I mixed it with breastmilk, so it was pretty watery. This time, she wanted to feed herself. I'm still not sure how much of it went INTO her mouth, and I'm not sure if she was grabbing the spoon because she wanted the rice cereal or if she just wanted to chew on the spoon (one of her favorite pastimes). Anyway, she was smiling and happy throughout the experience, so I consider it a success. Note the adorable handmade froggy bib she's wearing. A dear friend bought it for Katy at a craft fair.

Oh, man. Are we going to try squash again?

Mmm! That tasted pretty yummy!

Mom, give me the spoon. I know how the game is played.

Well, that was great. Let's save the leftovers for tomorrow morning!

And, shifting to a different topic entirely, here are some pictures of Jim Thorpe, the town we went to last weekend. All these shots are from the balcony of the suite we stayed in.

Also, take a look at the new list on the right. I stole this idea from my friend Katie, who has her baby's favorite songs listed on their blog. Click on the links to hear them on YouTube. These are some of the staple songs that we sing and listen to every day. If you are a James Taylor fan (and who isn't, besides my parents?), you have to check out Jellyman Kelly.
