Chowing Down

We have been testing lots of new foods on Ella, and she has been doing fairly well with the little bites.  She's tried oatmeal (as seen below), mashed potatoes, the insides of french fries (essentially more mashed potatoes), pudding, Texas toast, sweet potatoes, baked apples, ice cream... basically whatever we have at dinner that is soft. She seems to like the little nibbles and especially the french fries!

The doctor said that there's no rush to get her eating solid foods, but to just get her used to chewing and swallowing.  Ella is definitely getting better at swallowing solid foods as well as paying attention to what we are eating.  Tonight she was reaching out for our french fries like she couldn't get enough!  She has also reached out and grabbed my cups, knowing to put her mouth on the straw.

 Baby Girl knows what the table is for!
