Splish Splash!

Avery loves bath time. She gets a thrill out of kicking her legs in the tub and splashing water everywhere – on me, on the kitchen counters, and on the floor. It’s amazing what a mess an inch and a half of water can make. Here’s your obligatory post-bath naked baby shot.

During the day Saturday, I installed Avery’s high chair so that we could officially start her on Stage 1 baby foods now that she’s almost 6 months old. She experimented with her first vegetable Sunday night. I selected sweet potatoes since baby Samantha loved the taters when she tried solids for the first time. Well, like the cereal, Avery looked at me like I was loony. While she ate all that I gave her, she made some of the most interesting faces of displeasure I’ve ever seen her make. So, the verdict is still out on whether she liked the potatoes or not. Either way, she thinks I’m nuts for feeding them to her in the first place!
