Sitting and Eating

Eleanor spent most of this week working on two skills – sitting and eating.  So far, we have had rice cereal, pears, carrots, bananas, apples and peas.  We had apples today, and she was really getting the hang of opening her mouth when the spoon came her way.  Things still get a bit messy though.   We have really made progress in the sitting department, Ellie can stay sitting by herself for a bit, and can even balance without her hands on the ground.  I thought for sure we would have a couple new teeth to show off by today, but not quite yet.  Judging by the size of her gums, they should be here soon.
