oh dear...

We have started solids... A few days ago we decided to try her with some 'real' food, some kumara (a kind of sweet potato for those of you in the uk) mixed with breastmilk, just an icecube of each. At first she was a little unsure, but just sucked it off the spoon, didn't push it out with her tongue at all, so we were quite impressed. She ate quite a bit of it pretty happily, until she decided that she wanted to do it herself.. sigh... luckily she is very good at putting things in her mouth, she has been playing with a spoon for months, so she didn't spread it all over her face! She has now had that for dinner three times, and has taken to it like a pro! Next week we will be trying her with some brocolli... You can check out the pictures by clicking here!

Another development (which is oh so cute!) is that if we put our cheek near her face, and say "Kiss mama/dada" she will lean forward and give us a little open-mouthed kiss! Not quite a kiss technically, but not just a suck either.. but it is soooo cute!!
