Kinley - Scooting, Teeth, Food and Laughing

Kinley's not crawling yet, but there's no rush because she's figured out how to do this:



Remember those teeth I told you about?  Here they are, can you see them?:



Last Tuesday, Kinley had her 6 month dr. appointment and shots (weighs 15 lbs. 4 oz).  I brought up her issue with food and the pediatrician recommended I try teething biscuits.  She said that some children just don't like being fed with a spoon, they prefer to do it themselves.  I was hesitant to give her something so sweet, but if she thought it'd help I was willing to try.  So I gave her a whole wheat biter biscuit, and she loved it! (of course she did, it's essentially a cookie!)  It was the first time she gladly ate.  So I'm taking her lead and introducing things she can eat by herself.  Have you seen these:

You can fill them with just about anything, so this week we'll be introducing do-it-yourself cooked veggies.  :)  Friday I was eating a pickle and Kinley looked interested so I gave her a taste.  To my surprise she loved it!

**she kept biting my finger with those teeth you just saw

And I'll leave you with this - watch this video and you're guaranteed a smile.  (all I'm doing is snapping my fingers...)

She's so cute! I LOVE the video of her laughing! I enjoyed the last blog you posted too of befunky.com. I'll have to check that out soon. See you in a few weeks!

I love the video of little naked Kinley laughing! haha....and I can't believe how much she liked the pickle! too funny. Someone gave me those net things for food, but I never really used it with Adriana - that's great that you figured out how to get her to eat though! I would have never thought it was just because she wanted to do it herself... she's getting too big too fast :( Can't wait to see you (and her!) tomorrow!
