Princess Puffs

 This last week Elle has really been enjoying 'Mums' baby crackers. Today was the first time I tried giving her the Graduates Puffs and she was ecstatic! You would think they were candy by how much she enjoyed them. She has quite a good pinscher grasp and the puffs only encourage her.

 If Elle sees you with food, she won't be afraid to let you know she wants some. She starts smacking her lips and giving you "the look"--you know, where they don't let you or anything you're holding out of their sight, the look where her eyes bore deep into your soul begging for some of whatever you have! haha. Luckily, for right now, she probably thinks all we eat are puffs. 

Elle has experimented with a few more of my home-made baby foods. She really enjoys butternut squash, peas are so-so, but when combined she'll eat it right up. We tried banana again for dinner and she finally seemed to like it.

Another favorite of Elle's is water. Yes, water. Not out of a bottle. Not out of a sippy cup. A cup. Only an adult sized cup will do. Never matter that a fair amount dribbles down the front, she loves it. Elle lights up when she sees it and happily reaches her hands and head toward it. She even excitedly starts breathing through her mouth and then will choke on the water a little, haha, poor thing. Today she started doing the opposite and blowing into the water making little bubbles. So, I wouldn't recommend sharing with her unless you like backwash.

Elle's newest toy is her big girl high chair. We decided it was time and it has been great for all. She loves the huge play tray and enjoys sitting with us at the dinner table while we eat. One of the greatest features of the high chair is that it has wheels. We wheel her around the kitchen, living room, bathroom while I'm getting ready, etc. She gets quite the kick out of being transported around in it. We call it her 'Professor Xavier Wheelchair'. Haha.
