Baby led feeding

On Sunday, we went to Josh's parent's house. As we were getting ready to eat lunch, Josh pulled out a banana and handed it to Sophie. This is what happened.

I love this. The girls do too. They've been protesting eating from a spoon, which pushes me even more to feed them this way. Bananas are soft enough where they can eat them on their own, so they're a really easy food for them (and us). We also tried honeydew (that was actually the first food they had) and is was WAY too slippery for them. Plus they had no idea what to do. Give them a banana though, and it goes straight in the mouth and they chomp away. I like having options for feeding them. I make some food, we buy some food, we hand them some food. It's great.

For some reason, I only have pictures of Sophie eating this way (and they're taking on my phone...yuck), but Lillian is just as good. In fact, Lillian's tooth has broke through her gum! I'm thrilled. It's still tiny and you can only see a sliver of white, but it's there. The solid bananas must feel great on her swollen little gum.

Also, check out the post below if you're interested in coming to a photography workshop with Sharon Johnson. When I found out about it, I told Josh that would be my birthday present and I'm SUPER excited about it.

And yes, I haven't been blogging as much as I wanted to, but I'll get there...

eventually.
