10 months old

Emma is 10 months old now! Her first Easter was lots of fun-- she did really well in church, and that afternoon she enjoyed banging some eggs together and pulling the grass out of her Easter basket.

Lately it has seemed that Emma is finally ready for some more variety in her diet- at least some new textures. She's now eating more "finger" type foods, and is beginning to mash and chew with much more ease! So far Emma likes: rice cakes, pieces of pear, cheerios, dried apricots, and banana chunks. She also continues to eat her old standbys: zucchini, apples, squash, sweet potatoes, yogurt, and oatmeal. She is not so into green beans anymore, and she gags on peas every time we try them. We've given her avocado a few times, but she makes a funny face- we're thinking she might not like the green things so much!

Here is a cute picture of her in the bluebonnets over Easter weekend. She picked a few of the flowers and tried to eat them!
