Bath Time and Eating!!

Ok- so every time that we eat and Harper is sitting in Eron's lap, she watches every move his fork makes including tilting her head back to watch the fork enter his mouth! She also drools excessively (though, that may be teething, but it works for this story) while she is watching him. Well, today she was sitting on her bumbo on the table while we were eating lunch and she was mesmerized by him eating. So Eron decided to put his fork full of food to her mouth to see what she would do, and sure enough she opened her mouth and went to grab the fork with her hands, luckily Eron moved it in time! I have tried a few times since she turned four months to see if she was ready to eat and she was not. She would just push the cereal out of her mouth with her tongue. Well she is 51/2 months now, so since today she looked like she was so desperate to eat, I decided to try once more. She actually swallowed this time. But, as you can see from the pictures she still made a huge mess all over her face! We only tried a few bites, not a whole meal today, so maybe in the next few days we will try a whole meal, but she did so good and I think she is really going to enjoy eating! I cannot believe it is time for her to start eating with a spoon, where has the time gone?

We tried another new thing during bath time. We have been using a sponge to lay her on in the bath, which has been great, but we decided to try the bumbo! Why not? I love that thing! It was great and since she thinks that she is such a big girl now and has to sit upright everywhere we are, I knew that she would love it. It was much easier to wash the little hair that she does have! Don't think that we will use it every time, but maybe every once in a while! Well hope you enjoy the pictures!
