First Food

October 12, 2012 by Aliesha

Cordelia recently started eating solid foods, and her first solid food experience was a hard boiled egg yolk (farm fresh)!

She wasn’t sure at first about the texture or the taste.

But after a while she got adjusted…

and enjoyed eating it!

Her ability to pick up small pieces of food is quite advanced.

 

Self-feeding is quite messy, but we feel like it’s worth it in the long run, as babies develop more independence in food selection and can better indicate when they are finished eating.

Cordelia has also tried avocado and banana (separately) on different days.

Bathtime

September 10, 2012 by Aliesha

Vera used to hate baths. From her very first bath EVER, pretty much all the way up to very recently, she screamed every time we even talked about baths! 

Lately though, she’s been coming around to the idea.

She seems like she’s enjoying baths more now!

I think one of the things that helped was watching Cordelia enjoy taking a bath.

While she still doesn’t want to take a bath every day, at least she can tolerate them without screaming.

I love this sweet, giggly girl!

Cordelia’s Laughing Fit

August 6, 2012 by Aliesha

Sorry… I had the settings on the videos wrong… you should be able to view them now!

While we were at my parents’ house last week, Vera was apparently quite hilarious to her little sister!  Vera was spinning around in circles (I think she was playing “Ring Around the Rosie” by herself), which you can see in this first video:

This prompted a laughing fit from Cordelia:

I seriously can’t stop watching this video!  Hearing her laugh is the best therapy!
