nic and i are both in school full time but thankfully we have great friends who like daphne, and daphne likes them. it works well and we're so grateful to have the help.
she has also gotten increasingly mobile which has meant she has gotten increasingly naughty.
after a few weeks of a makeshift barrier we finally got a baby gate to separate her from the kitchen. i drop too much raw chicken on the floor for her to ever be in there. [kidding- but it is always the messiest room in the house- but i must say the floors aren't as dirty as they look, they are dirty, but there are also lots of lovely dents and scratches in the linoleum. oh, the joys of renting] so here she is acting rather sad at her "cage"
check out those legs! i love them. she is going to have some great calf muscles- always on her tippy toes.
Her high chair arrived today! she was so happy and clappy when we put her in it. She already loves getting new things, oy vey.
she is actually getting a lot better with eating food and i can tell the high chair really helped today! she was excited to have new place to eat, i could just tell :)
[nice pincher grasp daph!]
she has eaten this week:
toast
bananas
apple cinnamon puffs
gerber cheddar puffs
organic oatmeal (her fav)
garden veggie puffs
sweet potato puffs
ritz crackers
hawaiian delight (banana and pineapple)
rice cereal
not bad, huh? I'm pretty proud of her.
if any of you super moms have any suggestions about getting your kids to eat (and drink from a sippy cup), i'd love to hear them!
I'll be sure to post in the next few days all about her latest and greatest for her 9 month post.
I can't believe we have a 9 month old... insane!

You are excused, little girl. I am so glad to hear that Daph is enjoying food now. It's a huge deal, and one that we all take for granted until you have a kid that would rather drink that eat. But she was never as bad as Sid....my best eater now but it was breast milk only until 17 months. Obnoxious.
Berkley pretty much eats what is in front of her, but lately I have been thankful for the blender. I'll put fresh fruit in it and blend if with a really small amount of formula. If it is really thin I add some oatmeal to it and she gobbles it up. Sometimes I do the same with rice and veggies. For more flavor in the rice I add a little soy sauce. Anyway...don't know if she would like any of that but it is worth a try. Hope you guys are doing great! Missed you at the reunion yesterday.
