Every day with my little one is a new experience, and a reminder of how sweet and simple life really is. Even with yukky diapers.

There's good news and there's bad news....
The good news is that she loves cous cous. The bad news is that she refuses to let us feed her, so she was literally covered head to toe in the stuff!! She would grab fistfulls of it, and shove them into her mouth, which we thought was pretty coordinated, considering cous cous is just teeny grains of rice, and she actually ate a significant amount. She had it in her hair, up her nose, and down her diapers by the time she was finished! Eric actually laughed right along with me, which was very big of him, considering his need for cleanliness and order. When she was done, I wheeled her onto the deck in her high chair, stripped her down, and wiped her off! Then I cleaned off the high chair, which was a whole other event in and of itself, vaccumed the floor, and it was when I changed her diaper that I found even more cous cous!! All in all, it was pretty funny.
She's sooooo independant now! She just refuses to let us feed her, she MUST do it herself! Eric let me know this morning that she was really diggin the grapefruit he gave her. That made me feel really good. Apparantly she was actually licking the juice off of her fingers!! How cute!! We've committed to organic food, whole wheat grains, and no sugar for as long as humanly possible,so it was very encouraging to hear she liked grapefruit. I did feed her blackberries the other day, and they were a little bit sour, but since mommy was eating them, Cass had to eat them too! She wanted my chicken the other night, so I literally let her suck on a piece. She's still liking strawberries too, and hasn't had any weird allergic reactions to anything I've given her. She likes chewing on a toasted bagel, and eating whole wheat toast. I'll post again on Wednsday, after her 9 month check up. Can you believe it's already been 9 months!!!
