It's been a big weekend for Abri. Today she tasted her first food, and I'm happy to report it was a big success. Before she got her first bite in, Lise' gave her the bowl with the spoon and said, "Here Abri,eat it." Before I knew what had happened, Abri had knocked the bowl off the tray. Luckily it landed upright, and all was not lost. It was such a sweet action that we had to chuckle.
The first few bites were sort of an experiment for her, but once she figured out how to swallow, there was no turning back! She squealed with delight and in anger every time I took the spoon away for another bite. By the time it was all over with, she was literally covered in cereal.
That lead to another first for her-a bath. Before you say anything, yes, I bathe her. It's just she's never been in the big bathtub before. Lise' was so excited that she crawled into the bath too-without taking her clothes off. She's been waiting for this moment for a long time.
After the bath, both girls were on the floor playing around, and B witnessed the first coordinated movement resulting in a crawl for Abri. Of course, I was in the kitchen and missed the whole thing, so until I see it, it won't be entered into the baby book. Sorry B, it's kind of like World Records-an official judge has to be present.
As for the house, B's still working hard. I've included a finished pic of the laundry room. Sorry I don't have a before picture. Those are stuck on a hard drive on a computer that bit the dust. Hopefully with time I'll get those back.
Until the next post....take care

Miss you all!
