Banana Bandit.


Elle is eating big person food.
In my feeble attempts to only give my baby breast milk until she's five.... er. Kidding, sort of.....
In my attempts to allow her stomach to mature for as long as possible and wait until she was really ready, I haven't given her solids yet, or rice cereal (yeah, gross who wants to eat that crap anyway?) 
BUT she's ready. 
She grabbed a handful of rice off of my plate the other night 
and put it right into her whittle baby mouth, raising her eye brows in delight.... 
She's ready. She wants to eat everything. 
Last night she ate corn and black beans (first food). 
We video tapped her shoveling the beans right into her mouth. 
She put her mouth on the edge of the table and shoveled it in. 

Today she was on my lap as I was typing at my computer and she saw half of my 
oatmeal chocolate chip muffin sitting there, grabbed it and put it in her face hole. 
A while later I was changing her diaper and saw brown smeared all over her mouth.
First though?
Oh, god, she's pooped herself and snacked on it! 
GROSS ELLE! Grosssss! 

Then I licked it off and It was chocolate, not poo. 
Phew. 

Needless to say, today, I found lots of little treasures in her diaper!
So yeah, washing diapers is about to get real adventurous. 
{Oh, and she finally sprouted a tooth!}

  1. She is too cute tucking into the banana!

    My little one was the same way about food. I was going to wait FOREVER to give him anything other than breastmilk...and then he reached onto my plate and grabbed a boiled red potato and bit into it like an apple.
