o, o, o cheerios

Lucy tried and enjoyed Cheerios for the first time today. She has been eating some finger foods already: Hot-Kid's Baby Mum-Mum and little Gerber fruit puffs and wagon wheels with no trouble. She likes to pick them up and feed herself. [Definitely much more fun than being spoon-fed by someone else.]

I enjoy eating dry Cheerios as a snack, and thought Lucy might too. [Really, what's not to like, they're toasty o's of goodness.] My hunch was correct — she even chose them over the cherry-flavor fruit puffs when they were both placed in front of her. [I can't speak for the other snacks yet — they have not had their own head-to-head contest with Cheerios.]

Spoon-feeding is becoming increasingly more difficult with little miss independent. Sure hope she learns to work the spoon soon. And, I have a feeling she will . . .
