Ah, the joys of introducing solid food. Madeline had her first taste of spaghetti the other night, and she looooved it. She is going to be an Italian food freak like her mommy, I can tell. The bruschetta and calamari are just around the corner, no doubt. :o)
It just amazes me that she is starting to catch on to all of these things that seem so grown-up, like eating the same things that Dave and I do. She’s also finding more words every day... she’s got "mama," "dada," "ba" (for ball), and "pee" (for peek, not for actually peeing -- although wouldn’t that be handy???).
What also amazes me is how much these little steps are what I take joy in now. Before I had a kid, this kind of stuff would have probably given me about 2 second’s pause and an "oh, that’s nice" if a friend or relative’s child did them. Now that I’ve watched Madeline from the very beginning of her life, and seen each incremental step she has taken, I feel so much wonder at each additional step she accomplishes. It’s simple entertainment, but you can’t beat it.
