That's Good Eatin' Ma!

In the ever increasing world of what Sophie can eat, today Sophie got Cheerios for the first time ever. I put some on her tray on her high chair and tried to show her how to eat them and put them in her mouth and made all sorts of silly gestures of encouragement to let her know how good they would taste once she got them in her mouth. Mostly she was just fascinated with playing with them and picking them up (as it should be I suppose when you're only 5 months old). Occassionally she would get one on the inside of her hand which would come close to her mouth but she never quite made it all the way in. Since she doesn't yet have the pincer grasp down, she couldn't really move them very swiftly but it was wonderful to see her keen interest in them and fixed study of how they move on her tray.

First Cheerios


She also started peas this week which, thankfully, she loves. So her list of foods that she loves now includes milk, bananas, pears, apples, sweet potato, and peas. Pretty impressive!!

I'm Loving These Peas

Are you sure they're good for me?

Really, a vegetable?


Finally, I just had to share what was written in the Penn Children's Center Infant Newsletter that was left for us in Sophie's cubby when I picked her up on Friday. After the anticipation of reading through the other classes I finally got to the "Little Ladybugs" which is Sophie's class. Cute updates were given about all the infants in her class. Of our cutie-pie was written, "Sophia is one of our newest and youngest infants. Sophia is a girl who knows what she wants, although she is just 4 months old she does a good job of communication her needs to her caregivers." TOO FUNNY! Yep, that's our girlie!
