Eleanor has been showing interest in food lately. Henry was eating at 4 months and he was a great eater right away and could sit up well and was grabbing food and utensils out of our hands, but E hadn't shown any of those signs till the last week or two. She will be 5 months in two days and is now able to sit up for a few moments at a time and can do it well with a pillow behind her. She's also opening her mouth when she sees us eat and is reaching out towards us while we eat. So, I gave her a creamy chunk of avocado the other day and she seemed to like it. I've given her carrot to gum on and apples to drool over but I haven't done rice cereal yet but I think we will start this weekend. I really wanted to wait till she was 6 months, as recommended, but I just get this vibe...she is ready.
Also in the past week, Henry discovered the joy of sticking your hand out the window while driving. He's always screamed at me for having the windows down but recently he's been okay with it and on Monday when we were driving to school I heard this joyful squeal from the back and saw his little hand flapping up and down in the wind. "It tickles mom!" "My hand is flyyyyyying!" I had a smile all day thinking about the boy doing that.
