Mabel is obsessed with food. If she notices that Emmeline has dropped an Apple Jack on the floor (or a noodle, or a pea, or anything at all) she will make a mad dash for the coveted item. Unfortunately for her, her "mad dash" is still slower then mama and the food item gets cruelly intercepted. She has begun demanding that she get to sit with the family during dinner time. She is sneaky. She sits calmly on my (or Brett's) lap and then when I least expect it---she swipes for my plate. She is usually quick enough to get something in her hand, but not quick enough to get it to her mouth.
Well the other day we finally gave in and gave Mabel what she wanted. "Real" food. And by real, I mean the pulverized mesh that Gerber calls baby food. We started Mabel off with sweet potatoes and she sure loves it. She already wants to hold the
spoon by herself. She has now also enjoyed peas and applesauce. I believe a whole new world has just opened up for our little Mabel Jane.
