Dinner

Dinner time has gotten interesting lately. Brooklyn used to sit in her Rainforest bouncy seat & play. For the last 2 weeks, I chuckled when she called out to Sean if he went to take a bite & his eyes were not on her! Now I'm the sucker. She's realized she's not at the same level with the 'big people,' so now I get the shout-out & of course, pick her up to sit on my lap. (G-ma, I know you're just rolling your eyes by now for giving in, but wait 'till you hear my justification.) See, it's ok, because she's we're getting closer to starting baby food & now she can learn table manners, right! :)
Two nights ago, she just watched: my fork pick up food & put it in my mouth. Last night, when my fork did its job, she tried to lean forward to EAT my food! Curious little thing, isn't she! Crackers were on the table, so I let her try it. She kept gumming the corner 'till it was soggy, then I let her try my pinky finger dipped in applesauce. She gave it the ol Rachael Ray "Yumm-o!" Hope broccoli & aspagus go over as well!
