First Food!

Well we've done it! Piglet's just had her first meal of avocado spread on rice cakes followed by banana. It was actually less messy than I expected but loads of fun! Have no idea if she actually swallowed any of it, but that's not the point yet - she's just exploring food at the moment.

She started off in her highchair but got grumpy over it so she ended up sitting up at the table on Daddy's knee. It was a slow start but eventually she cottoned on and got stuck in. After sucking on the rice cakes a bit they broke up into halves and smaller pieces which she seemed to be able to manage better. After a while there wasn't much left on the table for her to pick up. Daddy suggested we gave her a banana for dessert; just peeled the skin off the top bit so she could get a better grip on the skin and let her loose with it. No sooner had she got hold of it though the flesh snapped off. She did really well though and was even able to pick up the slippery flesh off the table! At one point Daddy took it off her as we thought it might not be ripe enough and she cried for it back :-) She finished off by blowing raspberries at us.

We got it all on video to bore her with when she gets older. Chuffed to bits and really looking forward to tomorrow yay! After seeing her chomping away today I can't understand why anyone bothers with spoon feeding - so proud of her :-)
