garden, and that book burning!

Just wanted to tell you all that the little bear had her first food (other than the chocolate cake her sister fed her) tonight at our co-family's house! while sitting in my lap, she grabbed for the plate and then actually lifted the fork to her mouth all on her own! no food was on it. but we all agreed she was "showing signs of readiness" aka sitting up on her own, following our movements with her eyes, reaching and grabbing for foods, and is 5 months old now. so, i found a small wooden spoon in the kid's silverware drawer. then, i dipped it in the guacamole and handed it to her. she gleefully put it into her mouth and proceeded to consume her first bites of food! we were all super surprised by how much stayed in her mouth. when the spoon was empty, she let us know and i gave her two more scoops throughout dinner. she seemed to really enjoy the whole experience and we'll post pictures soon! e's first food was also guacamole at a friend's house!
