While Briana and Genevieve were visiting, Ben and I decided to "spice things up" and introduce Miss A. to the wonderful world of solid(ish) food. On March 29, 2010, Anika had her first taste of rice cereal. She has since graduated to oatmeal, bananas, peas, sweet potatoes, and today, applesauce! She takes great pleasure in racing the spoon to her mouth and gooshing her food between her fingers as well as giving herself facials everyday (oatmeal and rice are good for the skin, you know!).
First reactions to rice cereal...interesting...
and then she just took her spoon!
Flapping her wings in anticipation!
We kept up this new "eating thing" back in Littleton with the Wimsatts...
Uncle Billy feeding Anika.
I just can't seem to stop taking pictures of this kiddo! Here we are back at home:
More peas, please!
Anika's FAVORITE thing of all is her "Baby Kong"...it's actually a Sassy Teething Feeder (you can find it on http://www.babiesrus.com/ if you're interested). We put a piece of banana in and check out what happens:
Anika isn't the hugest fan of getting cleaned up, but she does like playing with the washcloth:
Its just a matter of time before she starts asking for lasagna and popcorn! She does need those teeth to come in for the popcorn, though!

LOL. Too cute. We have one of those Sassy feeder things too. Cael was never a big fan, but maybe we should give it a try with Aveyn. So I see a sippy cup in front of Anika. Is she drinking out of one? Just curious as I have started trying to introduce it to Aveyn and she has NO interest. Makes me wonder if we should have started sooner. What do you put in the sippy?
