yummmmm.


for a couple of weeks now, ellie has been acting like a ravenous, starving animal. she grabs food from my hands, tries to inhale anything that looks remotely interesting and cries when i am eating and she is not. i had tried to let her pretend to eat with spoons and cups while sitting in her high chair, but it just wasn't enough anymore. she has also been waking up at night just dying to eat.

last night ellie tried her first helping of rice cereal.  here she is, gettin' excited about dinner:



and a bite:




she ate the whole thing very quickly and complained if i paused too long to take pictures. in the end, she just sat very still and stared out the window, looking as dazed as most people look after thanksgiving dinner.
i think food totally blew her mind.

 
and, if you haven't had enough yet (and i don't blame you if you have had enough)
here are three short videos documenting our journey:
