First, we practiced hanging out in the high chair for a few weeks--it's a fun place to be. Elise likes to be up high, and she can fit lots of toys on her chair, as you can see. She's a big fan of banging on the tray, too!
Elise was then ready for her very first bite of cereal. She's tested a few things before: Aunt Amanda and Grandpa Link and Grammy Vicki like sticking things in her mouth. Tonight, when Grandpa Link gave her a bite of mashed taters and she opened her mouth wide for more, we knew it was time to try some cereal.
She cooperated very well and was really interested in the bowl, the spoon, and the whole thing in general.
She might've been a mess when all was said and done, but everyone thinks she is going to be a good eater. She liked helping Daddy with the spoon, and she enjoyed feeling the spoon on her tongue. We can't wait until she'll be ready to try more foods at 6 months! Only 1 month away!
Elise is also rocking out in another walker. Grandpa Mike got this one for her so she could have one at her house and wouldn't have to haul the one at Grammy Vicki and Grandpa Link's back and forth. She can't touch the ground in this one either, but it's only a matter of time the way she grows!
