Sam just ate her very first teaspoon of food. Whoopee! She is very good at opening her mouth and lunging for the spoon. She swallowed almost all of it today, rather than spitting it out. I think she’s got the hang of it! She also learned to keep her mouth shut when she doesn’t want any, which I suppose is also a great thing to know. I can’t tell when she is full, so she’ll have to tell me.

She’s on the floor gym now, grabbing at the toys hanging above her. She was grabbing at everything on the table earlier, especially her bottle. She didn’t want to eat from it unless she was holding it. Very strong personality, this one. She really is pretty easygoing, but I can see her getting very frustrated when her body isn’t ready to do the things she wants to. I’ve already seen her get pretty mad when she couldn’t sit up, or roll back over.

I thought I should put down my pet names for her. Little pumpkin, little bean, and sweetpea are the three most popular.
