27 Weeks Old

 A day late...

Lots of eating pictures this week! The list of foods she's tried continues to grow. Mostly good, whole foods - vegetables, some fruits, meats, but she's also had some frozen yogurt and jam (thanks, Gigi!). And I will say that she certainly LOVES the sweets. Seeing her devour anything with sweetness has made me reconsider doing purees because I really want her to develop the same love of vegis that Henry has. With him, I fed him a diet of nearly 100% vegetable purees and, while I can't definitively say this is the reason why, he certainly does love his vegis now.

 I did try giving her a little baby oatmeal mixed with breastmilk today and she completely refused it. Then at dinner I tried to give her some mashed up carrots which she also refused. I think it might be me trying to feed her that she is actually refusing rather than the food. I think this because she has tried absolutely everything else she has been given when she can feed it to herself.

In the picture of her in the exersaucer she is eating a baby rice cracker while Wilbur waits expectantly in hopes she'll drop it to him.


 She continues to be a happy, content baby in love with her big brother and enchanted by everything he does. She is doing great sitting up and "playing" with her toys (grabbing them, biting them, discarding them).

Lots of smiles...except, of course, when we went to have her six month pictures taken at the mall...then she pretty much refused to smile and mostly just fussed. Henry was a champ though (took his 5 year photos) - I know he doesn't particularly enjoy getting his picture taken, but he did great and the pictures should turn out really well. I can't wait to get them!

I love her chubby cheeks - and hope her dimples become more pronounced as she gets older. Also, her hair does have a tint of red to it; but so did Henry's and now it doesn't really, so who knows. No change in her eye color (yet) - still blue.
