Open Wide!!!

Sydney has been experimenting with solid foods for a couple of months now. She did start out eating some rice cereal and some oatmeal cereal at first, but when we introduced squash to her she ate it at lightning speed. It really goes much faster than some of the other solid foods. So, Sydney certainly has her own early take on what fast food really means.

"Open wide???" That is something we really don't even need to say. As soon as she sees the spoon she opens her mouth as big as she can. We don't have to pretend the spoon is an airplane coming into the hanger, or a spaceship landing in a cargo bay, or anything of that sort. In fact, she naturally opens to a point where you feel a strong gravitational pull, as if there were some vortex forming in the space/time continuum. That must be why our clocks are ahead 10 minutes after she eats each time. Ok, perhaps a little dramatized, but we could certainly could upgrade her to one of those big wooden kitchen spoons! Even though I joke about it, it is fun to see her passing the 'solid food' milestone.

Although the idea of pureed peas and other vegetables is still a little unnerving to me...she eats it all. She's had squash, peas, carrots, prunes, apples, pears, and probably a few others I'm not even thinking of. Maybe next month we move on to pureed steak, pizza, and hamburger!

Other updates from the week...Sydney wanted to wish her Grandma Gloria and her Uncle Nathan a Happy Birthday, which occurred on the 23rd and 26th, respectively. Sydney also mentioned that she had a great time visiting with Danielle and Sasha at the BBQ, and getting a chance to socialize with them outside of the normal environment. Soon to be posted...Saturday she met up with her friend Maggie to paddle around in the baby pool (whatch out Michael Phelps!). Well, that's it for now!

Have a great week!
