Keeping up with the Midgetts: A new update.

Katie is feeling much better, has been for a couple days. Now we're dealing with the teeth again. They are STILL not through. She's getting so big and learning more and more every day. It is amazing to watch.

Almost time for bed, with rosy cheeks from a nice warm bath. She LOVES the bath. Loves to splash and play with her toys. We're working on floating (what do you expect from a former swimming teacher), and kicking, and she loves that too. She also holds her breath when she puts her face in the water, but I'm not sure if that's intentional or a reflex. Either way, we're going to encourage it. She has no fear of the water, so the earlier she learns to swim, the better.

She's been trying more solid foods. She still nurses for her meals, but we are attempting to try some "big people food" every day. So far, she loves bananas, avocados, blueberries and chicken with veggies. Will tolerate pears and sweet potatoes, and does not like regular potatoes. Won't even attempt carrots. Picks them up and throws them straight on the floor. That's my girl. She seemed to like the pea I gave her the other day, but I only had one that I could pick out of my supper. I also found some wheat-free maple flavour teething biscuits today and she was very excited about those. By the time she was done with one, she smelled like pancakes. Yum. We're waiting on wheat because of Mom's allergy. I very much don't want to deal with that later.

She wasn't sure what she was supposed to do with these noodles. Bailey, however, was very pleased with the outcome. She got to eat them all. And the asparagus stick that Katie didn't want. This is one of the major reasons Bailey likes babies. She does not, however, appreciate her lips being pulled. That makes her cry.
