Another important milestone (for Cincinnatians)

Tonight Josephine had her taste of the sweet, sweet nectar known around these parts as Graeters. Louie & I walked over to the Square after dinner for their new Mango Sorbet and since mangoes are Josie's favorite food and since she's eating almost everything else that we're eating (more on that in a minute)...we decided to give her a tiny bite. After the shock of the icy coldness wore off, she literally smacked her lips and opened her mouth for another spoonful. I obliged. Then that was it (I thought) until she literally cried until we gave her more. (And I swore I'd never be one of "those parents" to give in so easily, but it was Graeters, so you all understand, right?) It's no surprise that she loved it. Who doesn't? Just wait until she tries "black raspberry chip" - which won't be for a loooong while!! ;)

On the topic of food, Josie is pretty much eating whatever we eat now (minus the major seasonings). For example, tonight we made Indian food & Josie sat there in her high chair feeding herself grilled chicken, rice and garlic Naan. The night before last she sat there and ate a crumbled up Veggie Burger. She'll eat any fruit or veggie that we eat. And her favorites so far have been pancakes & bagels with cream cheese. What a big girl!!

Look at her go - I wish I could have been there to see her face and reaction:)

You will be amazed at how much a 9-month old can consume now that she's tasted REAL food...and how little of it translates into poundage! Lucky for them!
