Caterpillar's first solids

[Phoebe & Allyson]

Along the same line as Kate's Bug and the index card.
Caterpillar usually "reads" the newspaper with me, so I gave
her a piece of junk mail (a heavy weight oversize postcard)
this afternoon while I read the good stuff. A few minutes
later, I realized that she wasn't tearing it up so much as
gnawing bits off. The had the most disgusted look on her
face as she gummed one bite into submission, but would not
open her mouth for me to fish it out.

Can't wait to see that come out in the diaper. :)

DS gnawed into a wet paper towel I had laid near him today! His expression
was so funny--he did not like it a bit but he cried when I took it away! He
tries to taste or eat everything in sight!

At about the same age, P was gawing on Pat the Bunny...we didn't realize
it until the next day when the paper came thru.

Heh heh. I saw the heading and thought "hmm, I thought they were
waiting another week". At least she's indicated that developmentally
she's ready! Bug often makes a kind of displeased expression while
she eats, while at the same time leaning into and grabbing at the
spoon with her mouth open. She does the same with a wet washcloth --
expression: "eeeewww", body language: GRAB!, action: SUCK SUCK SUCK
SUCK!!! Babies are mysterious.
