Bye-bye baby food!

So I no longer (nor did I ever really) enjoy baby food. Who wants to eat mush? I now enjoy any food I can hold and eat myself. Mom was a little nervous about choking at first but after some research and a little extra push from me I wore her down and she's all for it. ("baby-led weaning")

Enjoying a nectarine (and no one was complaining that I sat the WHOLE dinner and ate myself).

Canteloupe- a favorite.

Broccoli?! What the ?! Fine, I'll try anything once. Mom did stop feeding me weird, homemade baby mush after all.

Oh yeah, broccoli's good.

Other favorites are pears, apples, squash, sweet potatoes, avocados, bananas, tofu, zucchini. All the stuff I wouldn't eat in mush form.

All kidding aside, this way is SOOO much better and totally fun! Bye-bye freezer cubes!

They grow up so fast!

6 months!!! I am a very good sitter and working on crawling...yep, that's right. I can get up on all fours and rock around a bit. Mom keeps pushing me down (thinks I'm too little to crawl just yet- likes me in one spot), but I've got other plans. The doctor said I'm as healthy as can be, but I didn't really care for this whole doctor thing- she said I have 9 month thighs! Can you believe her?! Don't worry, I got her back by screaming the entire time (they couldn't even weigh me- ha!). Then she gave me shots and I let mom pay the whole ride home. See if they ever take me to another "well" visit, hahaha. Sticks and stones....

And me? Oh, I've potty trained myself. Decided I'm a big girl and haven't looked back. Got all sorts of new underwear....princess, mickey mouse. Totally cooler than diapers. Plus now I can just call out, "I have to go pee pee!" and mom pulls the car over. So whenever I just need a good stretch or feel like checking out the scenery...
