Dinnertime with Ellie

Ellie decided that she would give feeding herself a "go" tonight. We got this shot on our little 'point and shoot' that happened to be sitting on the kitchen table. The battery died immediately after this pict so we pulled out the 'good' camera for the ones below. They're a little more posed.

she's really just enthralled with the infra red sensor on the flash

now, her dad is just making funny noises over my head

this feels a little awkward. maybe I'm a lefty?


More funny noises from dad. By this expression you'd never know that she got jabbed again at the dr's office this morning! the cool red tomato man band-aids actually helped the fussing cease! Her vital stats from today's visit: head circumference and height seem to be staying on their normal trend lines, but her weight jumped like 50 percentile points. Dr. Taylor says we can take her off of whole milk now since the need for fat in brain development has passed and she obviously doesn't need the calories! Maybe if we let her feed herself from now on... just kidding! Nathan said that while feeding oneself from a spoon doesn't qualify one for MENSA, Ellie surely has this fellow Kentuckian beat in the brains department.
