More teething and baby food favorites

Teething is no walk in the park

For the past week, we've had an extra cranky little teether on our hands. Elise's third tooth just cut through and her fourth one is well on its way. The score is now: bottom gums: 3 | top gums: 0. It has us wondering when her top teeth will come in to even up the score?

We are also happy to report, that she is now eating baby food on a regular basis. Over the past few months, we have been slowly introducing her to new foods and she has done very well transitioning. She loves sitting up in her high chair and smacking her hand down on her tray to signal that she's ready to eat. During feedings, we twirl and spin her spoon like a high flying jet, she smiles huge and opens her mouth wide every time. I never imagined that feeding her could be this fun! So far her favorite foods are bananas, peas and oatmeal. She usually gets a little messy, but thankfully we've gotten to the point where more food goes in her mouth than on her bib.
