Bananas

We started Emma on solids this week with bananas, and she loves them. She reaches for the spoon and open her mouth wide and makes an excited hmmming noise when eating. When she discovered that the bananas actually came from a bowl instead of a spoon, she dove for the bowl.

She was a little cranky at dinner tonight because she didn't get a good afternoon nap, so whenever I took the spoon away to refill it, she would cry. So the evenings sounds went something like this: humm, mmmm, mmm, AAAAAHHHH!!!, AAAHH - hummmm, mmm, AAHHH, mmmmmm.

Eventually the crying won out, and not even bananas could console her. Laughing at my child is probably not the best thing a parent can do, but it was just so funny. Here she is with banana mush all over her face, arms out wide searching for the spoon, and alternating frown-y face with pure joy. And if you've ever seen her frown-y face, then you know how hilarious this was. If Mark were home, I would have had him take a picture.
