Reagan has started to eat some chunks of fruit this week in something called a mesh feeder. It allows you to put chunks of stuff inside. The baby can get the liquid from that chunk, but no actual chunks, meaning less of a choking hazard.
Reagan's first chunk of fruit was watermelon. As I handed her the brightly colored "chunk holder" she looked at it like a brand new toy. Since it didn't light up, spin around, play music or otherwise catch her attention, it went straight to her mouth. Okay, it would have gone straight to her mouth anyway.
She munched on her watermelon while trying out several different facial expressions. The "O" face...boy that is sweet. The "big eye" face...wow, I think I could eat this. The "what is this" face when the juice starts to run down her hands, arms, chin, neck, chest.....
Throughout all of this, I sat watching my daughter. Not believing, first, that I even have a daughter, but that she is 6 months old? Seriously? Wow. That is one thing that no one can ever make you understand. No matter how many people tell you how quickly time will go by, it will go faster.
Anyway, here is my little girl after her watermelon. She had already been cleaned up, but the smiles were still dripping from her face.
