a seat at the table

so we're planning to start feeding addie solid foods tomorrow, and last week we gave her a seat at the dinner table with a plate and spoon to try it out.  she's become increasingly interested in what we're eating over the past month or so, so we are excited to see what she thinks of eating!  we'll be setting the bar low with rice cereal but as soon as she gets the hang of moving that through her mouth, we'll move on to something more exciting and delicious like avocados.

mmm... avocados.  reminds me of when cadiem started his first foods ;)

awww .. what a cutie he was/is!

so anyway, addie's first visit to the table was funny.  first we sat her down and she was more than eager to see what was in store.

but apparently nothing but chew toys...

so.. let's throw those on the floor and get to the good stuff... and chew on the table :)

don't worry, we're giving up the goods starting tomorrow morning :)  nate has also been letting addie sip water from a cup.  she LOVES this.  now if anyone has a cup, she wants it!  i'm still not quite used to her reaching out for anything i'm trying to drink (like.. hot coffee)!  we're going to try a sippy cup soon too.

stay tuned for more on the food front!  i know there are some good photo ops in the coming days... :)
