Updates on Natalie

An earlier post on this blog mentioned that Natalie can now sit up on her own. Here is a photo showing her new skill:


She is doing well with eating solid foods. So far we have fed her food from small baby food jars - carrots and sweet potatoes. We have also given her rice cereal. She got the hang of eating in a way other than a bottle or breast feeding quite quickly. She quickly learned that if there's a spoon in front of her face, she should open her mouth. We remember how foreign this concept to Lexi was the first few times we fed her solid foods. Lexi had this look on her face like, "What? You mean I have to get my food this way now? It's not going to be as easy as getting milk delivered directly into my mouth?"

We also discovered in the last couple of days that Natalie's first tooth is coming in! Sarah felt it on her lower gum, and when we look closely at it, we can see a tooth poking through.
