Mealtime Fun

Well, things have been busy, yet not that interesting over here. Nothing major to report. I can't believe it's almost Christmas, and that Matea is almost 6 months old. She's been developing such a fun little personality, and she keeps us on our toes, especially since she has an aversion to napping for any amount of time.

I don't know if this is a sign of things to come or not, but Matea has now decided that she needs to have the spoon when she's eating. In fact, she won't open her mouth for food unless her hand is on the spoon! I've worked around this by giving her one spoon and keeping one for myself, occasionally switching them. I think she knows what I'm up to, but it's working for now!

Right after she eats her cereal Matea gets in super-happy mood, so I thought I'd share some of our fun photos from mealtimes. You'll have to just imagine the high-pitched squeals that accompany the pics though . . . :)

Funny faces? Me! Never! I'm a little lady!Haha, I finally got that spoon! Admit it, you think I'm adorable. Here I'm telling the camel what I really think!  Another winning smile to keep Mom wrapped around my finger. Playing with my favorite chew toy - Eli's dinosaur. Matea's so excited she can't contain herself - and notice the dinosaur going flying over her shoulder!Peek-a-boo! Roar!Another smile (and squeal) for my fans. :)
