a new thrill

Lil has been an adventurous eater for a while now. She is always eager to explore new foods, both with her tastebuds and her hands. This week we are witnessing a rejuvenation in her excitement for food, possibly due to the fact she can actually taste what she's eating again. That, or because Mama finally got some energy and cooked for a change (jar food is so freaking bland. No wonder most babies just spit out what you feed them). Just check out that expression of utter joy and anticipation! Those must be some good eats Lil's about to get. Yum, yum.

For lunch, Lil was dressed so nicely in her puff-sleeve tunic dress and a pair of lavender cable-knit tights. Who doesn't just love baby tights? The only problem with them is that Lil slipped twice on the hardwood floor. These just didn't have enough grippy stuff on the soles. That just means she needs more shoes!

However, dinner is a more serious matter. Attire is as informal as possible, because on bath nights, we let Lil go hog wild (literally). If she wants to feed herself, she's may. If she wants to sit there and mush broccolini into her bellybutton, she can do that too. Just as long as she doesn't throw her food at Mama, or on the floor. The baby gets cleaned regularly. Mama and the floor- not so much.
