Cheerios!

Naomi has been eating all kinds of things. Let's see, we've covered squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, rice cereal, oatmeal, and applesauce (the applesauce was a mental lapse; that wasn't supposed to come until after green veggies). The kid is going to balloon. She eats and eats and eats.

Yesterday Naomi ate 2 cheerios! We were working on her pincer grasp, but she's not quite there yet. She did gather a cheerio up in her hand and tried to eat her whole fist, but she couldn't quite figure out how to get the actual cheerio to her mouth. Besides, once she stopped seeing it, she forgot it was there and let it fall to the floor while she concentrated on other things. So I popped a cheerio in her mouth just to see how she would react. I got a couple of odd looks, and it was on her tongue for awhile, but she never spit it out. When I checked a couple of minutes later, there was no cheerio. We repeated the process once and then Naomi decided Mommy's entertainment with cheerios was done and we should move on to something more fun.

I want to post so many great pictures we have of Naomi, but I don't think it will happen from home. I'll send some pictures to campus with Matt and hopefully get them posted sometime this week.

We can't wait to see the pictures!! It's hard to believe she'll be 7 months old tomorrow.
