About a week ago, we decided that Kate had been looking longingly at our "real food" for long enough, and it was time for her to start solids. Even though I have been super excited about this for a long time (not entirely sure why??), I don't think anyone was more excited than Anna! She was thrilled to get to put Kate's first bib on her (thank you to Aunt Jackie for all the wonderful bibs!), and loved watching Kate learning to swallow real food.
Not that we expected anything different given this girl's love to eat, but she was a big big fan of the rice cereal. She's still mastering the mechanics of the whole process, to be sure, but she just loves sitting in her "chair" at the table with us and eating at the same time as the rest of the family.
This shot was about as close as I could come, short of a video, to showing Kate's excitement about eating. She gets so worked up when the food gets close to her mouth that she starts flailing her arms as though she's going to take flight. Quite cute, but tends to result in an avocado bath for all things within a 5 feet radius...
