Matea's Turkey Day Dinner

Matea joined the family in enjoying her first Thanksgiving day dinner, complete with her first solid food! We thought it would be fun to have everyone around to see this milestone, and we were right. It was definitely a fun occasion to have all the kids around for!

Matea made the predictable wrinkly, what-in-the-world-is-this-stuff- face when we first started, which was really cute.

I can't believe you put that stuff in my mouth, Mom.IMG_1909

Then she decided that this eating thing was kind of fun! I think the full audience helped make it interesting. She was the center of attention (my little drama queen).

Hey, I like this stuff!IMG_1965

She really caught on quick and ate her entire bowl of cereal! She even got the hang of sticking her tongue out when the spoon came near, and of course wanted to explore the spoon whenever she could swipe it.

I'll just help you along here, Dad.IMG_1951It's mine, all mine!!! Now what do I do with it again?IMG_1946

All hail the purple spoon!IMG_1947

I got the hang of this. Tongue out, spoon in! So simple, yet so complex.IMG_1977

After just a bit Matea was really excited and kept kicking and making her "ughh" sound to get more. She was just happy as a clam as she was eating and then squealed and kicked in her swing and on the table after she was done eating. I guess "solid" food agreed with her!

I can barely contain myself this is so exciting!IMG_1984More more more!!IMG_1986

My tummy is full and now I'm happy.IMG_2003 Nope, I'm beyond happy . . . I'm squealing!IMG_2005

Still squealing . . .IMG_2019

And still squealing . . . I really liked my food!IMG_2021
