Our First Play Date!

Here are some quite funny pics of many (other) bald babies at our Pizza & PJ's Party we attended with the Java Mama's (mom's group I just joined here in Bloomington) this afternoon. As I write this I am watching one of my favorite reality TV shows - Jon & Kate Plus 8 (about a family with twins and sextuplets) and realizing that the group photo I snapped today of all the kids on the couch is still missing one child to match the size of their family - I can tell you the party was fun, but a little nuts at times (most of the time!) and to be in Kate's shoes everyday would be quite a challenge! So here is my salute to Kate! Reagan is worn out, and went to bed early tonight - but it was worth it - I think she made a lot of new friends...

The whole gang...(it is amazing nobody fell off the couch!)

Reagan "makes nice" with the spoon

As many of you know, Reagan has a complete disregard for baby food and is ready to sit down with us for a steak dinner with potato. I believe it is linked to the fact that all baby food is typically served on a spoon, which she has not mastered quite yet and therefore refuses to participate. She prefers finger foods that she can squish and self feed with her tiny little hands and really make a mess out of. Until today. I thought it was the spoon she was avoiding, but maybe just the food on it - here we see Reagan overcoming her spoon anxiety and accepting plain old applesauce with glee - applesauce technically is a grown up food so I believe she is willing to make an exception here.

However, still no peas, carrots or beans allowed (of the pureed variety). We'll keep you posted.
