We are really liking this baby led weaning thing. It is fun to give her real food, and easier than having her eat something entirely separate from us. Also, nice to not stand by hovering with the spoon! She is getting two meals a day, most days, though since she's still not relying on it for nutrition (milk is the main event until a year or so) its not a biggie if we miss a meal here or there. Usually, I give her a late breakfast/early lunch, and then we all sit down for a dinner together (In the kitchen! Not watching TV!) Often, we can give her something off our menu, like today. She had her first ever steak dinner!
But that was not it, after all, she is a meat and potatoes kind of gal.
I keep trying to move us into the kitchen for meals, too. Right now for lunch Baby sits in her high chair and bangs her practice cup and spoon together (but no spoons for this method, I guess) while we chat and I eat.
She's in bed by grown-up dinnertime, though--maybe this is when we switch to dinner at 6:30pm like all my friends with kids, hm?
Anyway, what sweet pictures! Keep the updates coming!
