Daphne had a check up Friday. She’s 14.5 pounds, 2 feet tall, and doing fine. She got some shots and the OK to start solid food. She sucked on a slice of pear this week and I think liked it.

Saturday morning she woke up about 6 and was clearly interested in being awake, talking and smiling, rather than going back to sleep. So we got up and enjoyed each other. I gave her some barley cereal and she did really well!

Here is a “baby bird” picture:

She didn’t push any of it back out of her mouth. There was dribbling but I think that is just figuring out how to swallow the stuff. I mixed up a little cereal and milk, and she ate it all. Then Amelia woke up and had her cereal, and wanted Daphne to eat with her. I mixed up another batch, and she ate all of that. Those cheeks are only going to get bigger!

I have heard her giggle twice- short little giggles. She made “L” sounds last night, maybe because her daddy sings “La la la la la” to her over and over again. And is just in general delightful. She added a “B” sound this morning.
