Nothing Every Day

Amity is 100%, an all-out, eating machine! She will try anything... fruit, veggies, dirt, you name it! Today we had a random mix of leftovers and delicious greek food and this was the result... I guess in a weird sort of way, I take some pride in letting Amity experience food. I don't really want her to develop a habit of playing with it, sure, but I DO want her to feel the freedom to eat it with her own hands and get a little messy. There's always time to clean up later and bath is one of her favorite things anyway, so we'll just make that a part of our day. She wasn't so sure about the hummus at first... but just wait... :) Spreading out some grape tomatoes with her hummusy hands. Soooo GOOD! How do I look Mom? What? There's no more raspberries? This is my greedy, sneaky, creepy face! That was delicious... now clean me up Momma! :)

I've contemplated starting a new tradition with Amity: Baking Wednesdays. The idea being that Amity, who is in love with food and doing fun and messy things, and I can share some good time together doing something I love and sometimes share that time with friends baking things at our house or theirs. Our first attempt at this tradition was this afternoon as we made homemade zucchini bread! It smells scrumptious and as you can see from the pictures left Amity's mouth watering all over the place! While it was baking, Amity was quite entertained by Tweaz who kept wandering around the kitchen meowing at the top of his lungs... of course... She was so hungry in fact, that she tried to see just how much of her rattle would fit into her mouth! It was quite hilarious! And then... the zucchini bread was done! { Baking Wednesday Day 1: Success! }

Amity is now over 4 months! How is that even possible? Now that she is such a big girl, her pediatrician told us that we can start trying out some baby cereal, more to get her used to the idea of being fed with a spoon and not a bottle. It was really fun to try this and Amity had a great time and fantastic expressions at her very first bites! Here's some pictures and a video of her...
