So, I know I just wrote a few days ago, but I have some very big news - I'm a big girl now! I'm eating two meals a day of big girl food. Mommy's been trying to feed us for awhile, but I wasn't ready.
But all last week I practiced sitting up. I'm only fall over after a bit now, like when I get excited about a toy but it's too far away for me to reach, or when someone walks in the room. It hurts when I fall, because I usually hit my forehead, but mostly it's just frightening because there I am, sitting just fine and the next thing I know I'm staring at the carpet. That can scare a baby, believe me.
In any case, though, I've been practicing and now I'm quite good at it, so I decided since I have that mostly figured out I should try to eat some big girl food, since Mommy's been trying for so long. And it's actually good! Grandma knows how to mix it just right and she's very good at feeding me, so she can help show Mommy, who's still learning how to do all this stuff, and it can get kinda overwhelming since there's two of us and she's busy at work. But Grandma can help out and help us get it right so that when Mommy watches, like this morning, I can show her how good it is.
And I like it - in fact, if Grandma doesn't bring the next spoonful fast enough I leaned forward and open my mouth to remind her that I'm still waiting. Now that I'm a big girl I don't like eating from the bottle as much; that's for babies, like Mae. But sometimes, like when I first wake up or I'm getting ready for bed it's much nicer to still lay back and let someone else feed me. Eating big girl food is hard stuff.
I watch Mommy and Daddy eat and they hold the spoon themselves, but I'm still not good at controlling my arms all the time, so I think that would just make a big mess at this point. But I'll keep practicing and Mommy keeps promising an exciting food called 'sweet potatoes' so I'm looking forward to that, too.
I'm getting hungry again, so I gotta go!
