Apple slice and her munchkin

She tried an apple slice in her munchkin today, and that was a semi-success. She liked it at first, but then tossed it aside. I'm going to try it again when she's a little more hungry (she just had her milk). It's great for teething cause she can gum it like crazy, but only gets little tiny bits of whatever is inside. Can't wait to try lots of things in the munch.

Solid food, continued

This girl loves her food. She's had rice cereal and oatmeal, sweet potato, and carrots. The sweet potato is her favorite so far, she got a look of wonderment on her face when she first had that. She's really good at feeding herself, she often takes the spoon and puts it in her mouth. Unfortunately, she sometimes grabs the bowl of it and gets food all over her hands, but she is getting the idea. She loves to drink her milk out of a cup, that is very exciting. She can't handle the cup herself, but she drinks from it quite a bit. We got a small cup with handles for her, so she can practice doing it herself. (We'll start with water so that it's not a terrible mess!)

Swimming lessons are a success!

On Friday 10/23 Keelin had her first swimming lesson. The other 2 kids in her class didn't come, so she had her teacher, Angela, all to herself. For this first lesson Angela kept it pretty simple. She got to know Keelin and MJ, scooped water into her hands and poured it over Keelin's head, and swished Keelin through the water on her back. She was very gentle with Keelin, and when she poured water over Keelin's head she made sure to wipe the water off of her face each time.

I thought it was too loud and chaotic in there with lots of kids running around, splashing, and jumping in and out of the pool, but Keelin loved it. She smiled and laughed, and liked Angela. She did so well that Angela said she'll put her face in the water tomorrow. She'll go three times a week.

We have video of her lesson, will post once we get a video area set up.

Video difficulties

Sadly, my friends who built the business and website 'eyespot.com', have shut it down. We had Keelin's videos there, but you cannot reach them anymore. So, we are making some new and much smaller video snippets of Keelin Warrior Princess, and will publish them on our Picasa site.

Keelin, 6 months!
