Scenes from the Highchair
Over the past couple of months Emma has expanded her repertoire of finger foods. Cheerios are still a fave, while cooked peas and carrots, well, not so much.
Cheddar cheese got two thumbs up, but bananas were a no-go (though proved to be an excellent hair gel).
As of last week, Emma has decided, for reasons known only to her, that she'd really rather feed herself without any help, thank you very much. She's gone from happily gulping down most everything (pureed) we've offered with a spoon to refusing almost anything that she doesn't put in her mouth with her very own hands.
She's quite particular about textures too, and will promptly spit out anything deemed too "squishy" (see carrots/peas/bananas, above), so I've been trying to introduce a variety of new things.
Today we tried homemade Mac 'n Cheese. I think we've found Emma's new fave food. She gobbled down fistfuls of the stuff and was looking for more:
'Course, eating mac 'n cheese proved to be a full-contact sport and she was literally covered from head-to-toe :)

In other news, Big Sister had her first day at her 'new'' school. She was so eager to get there, she was practically vibrating with excitement:
While I was a little bit sad to see her go ("how can she possibly be ready for school when she was my wee baby only yesterday??") ...
it will be nice to have a couple of hours of "Mommy and Emma" time everyday :)

Emma looks like too much fun!!
The first day school pic of Mommy and Michaela is beautiful.
What do Mommy & Emma get to do alone every morning?
What a great update Laurie! Tristan would be most jealous of Michaela's knapsack. Now I'm off to try some homemade mac and cheese with Sawyer...thank-you for the inspiration!
Emma is looking so good, so healthy! Michaela is beautiful, as always (like her mom). Love the eating pictures - how adorable, especially the banana rejection (Samuel is the same - Grandma can't understand how any baby could dislike bananas!). :)
the girls in your family are simply stunning, all of them!
aww those are such cute pictures. I love this Blog you guys have.
I'm gonna have to get Eric to show me HOW to take pictures.
Did I say how cute your girls are?
