Heidi's food update

Well...Heidi is taking bottles like a champ now.  She's eating every four hours, 6 ounces of formula, and sleeping 7 to 7 at night.  However, she still has zero interest in baby food.  She either spits it out as soon as it hits her tongue, or she'll just play or turn her head away anytime she sees the spoon headed her way.  I can usually get her to take three or four bites, and then she's done.  Here's a video of her playing during dinner:

I love how she would arch her back and do backbends out of the Bumbo seat.  She's a silly girl!

I've discovered that she loves to feed herself.  I think we're just going to skip the baby food stage and get to the table food.  She loves to gnaw on slices of apples or pears and enjoys feeding herself baby puffs and peas.  She has one tooth now which will help her jump to table food soon.  We got her a new highchair which she has enjoyed very much.  The dogs seem grateful to have a baby in the house again, too!  They love the leftovers that fall off the tray just for them.  

On a side note, I was able to give Heidi her first set of pigtails last weekend.  This has been something I've been anxiously waiting to do ever since we found out we were having a girl!

P.S.  LOVE this cute sleeper...thanks Melissa!  :)

I loved this post! Is that the high chair from Ikea? I tried to put Ezra in his yesterday and he wasn't a fan, so we went back to the bumbo. I don't blame Heidi for not wanting the rice cereal...that stuff is no good. The last picture was my favorite.

Looks like y'all are doing great! Hope to talk to you soon!
