New Tastes

Haley's eating has been funny lately. We've been trying to give her stage 3 foods for awhile but she refuses them. As soon as you get them in her mouth she spits it out then locks her gums together so you can't put anymore in. But she loves to eat chunky food so I think I finally figured it out, she wants to feed herself. She's fine with letting you put soft foods in, i.e. rice cereal in the morning, but anything she has to mash she wants to put it in herself, what a character. The dr. gave the ok to give her table food, minus of course nuts and shellfish, so we're having fun seeing what Haley will eat.

So that leads us to her new foods. She loves toast, bananas and hash browns so far. It's a fun game to see what suprise is down her diaper at changing time. I had no idea food could get in so many nooks and crannies. And then today, it was taken to a whole new level... she had her first taste of SPAGHETTI! She loved it. And I loved that Buster loves it cause he was my personal vacuum tonight. Now if I can only teach the dog how to clean the walls :) Below are the pics from her dinner tonight, and of course the major cleanup afterwards. Enjoy.

Hmmm...this is a new taste but not so bad...


Yum, I want some more.


Wanna hug Mom? I have it in between my eyes, in my hair and some in my ears...this is fun!


Bathtime...mom said I can't crawl around on the carpet until I am clean


Almost clean. See...my hair is coming in some. Maybe one day I'll be able to wear a bow


Mom caught me blinking but check out my tooth!


Oh, I almost forgot about Haley's first trip to NASA. She had a blast and loves watching all the kids run around. She just missed seeing the Astronauts practice maneuvers in the swimming pool when they took one of the tours. Grandma reported she was holding on to her diaper bag on the back of the stroller trying to push it to play with the kids. She is getting really good at that. She loves walking but doesn't have the balance yet to do it on her own. She's getting brave and even managed to let go of the sofa and take 1 step to Matt last night but she still has a long ways to go.
