The moment we have been impatiently awaiting--introducing finger foods! YAY! This move has really been filled with brilliant ideas from dear old mom here. Beginning with the very slippery mango and moving to mashed potatoes, carrots and corn, this step has really been an adventure.

It might be that I am learning too and finding that pasta, banana, eggs and cheese are much easier for her to pick up and get somewhere in the vicinity of her mouth. Coming soon: chicken, beans, cheerios and more. Message to Grandma: please note that ice cream is nowhere on this list.
