hatch open, will eat

i've come to the conclusion that our baby girl is simply growing too fast. but she's still small enough to sleep in weird positions and still wake up happy and refreshed...

on thurday night, madison had cereal for the first time!! she did really well- i thought i'd give it a try, see if maybe she'll sleep through that 3 am "play" hour. so far it hasn't really affected that, but at least she likes the cereal!

cereal, anyone??
i caught her mid-blink- really, she's not about to scream, i promise!


hmmm- she ate the cereal, tried her thumb, ate a little more cereal, then thought her bib would be great for dessert. do we have a small goat on our hands?


oh, she looks so small in the highchair!!
we got video and photos of the whole event, and it brought back memories of cole's first cereal. he was SO good- from that first cereal until now, he rarely got his hands dirty... no carrots-in-the-hair-and-peas-on-the-face feedings for this little guy! madison's the opposite- she had to feel every bite that went in. she wanted to sample her fingers, bib, thumb, you name it in between bites. she even grabbed for the spoon! funny how siblings can be so totally opposite! now i'm a bit nervous about her eating baby food- i have NO idea how to handle a messy eater because cole was so neat! oh, i can't believe my baby is old enough to have cereal... where does the time go?
i'll post photos later (maybe today yet, we'll see) of the classic car show and carnival we checked out last night. it's all part of clintonville's 'pigeon river days' weekend. we just walked through the carnival so cole could see the lights... it was after his bedtime already and besides, he was SO content to sit in the stroller and watch everything. maybe next year we can get him on some of the toddler rides or the big huge slide.
