Ok, so aside from my little giggling issue, I’m sort of advanced. Physically, that is. Or at least that’s what Mom and Dad keep saying. For one thing I’m a big girl. Guess how much I weigh???

11 pounds? Try again!

13 pounds? Try again!

I’m weighing in at a nice round 15 pounds, 10 ounces these days. I know, that’s the size of a six month old!! So as you can imagine, I need to eat A LOT! So Mom and Dad thought it might be time for me to experiment with solids–solid food that is!

How did I like it? Well, the jury is still out. First of all, it would be great if Mom got me a Tess-sized spoon, instead of this soup spoon from the take-out place:

The spoon is a little big, don’t ya think? But you know me, I’m always up for a new experience, and this certainly was new!!!

Maybe if I can master this whole “swallowing” thing, it might be more enjoyable….

In other news, the Giggle Embargo is coming to an end, but not quiiiiiet yet. I’d say it’s sort of petering out. You see, I’m making little “heh-heh” sounds, and I’m also squealing in delight, “heeeeeeaaaaaah!” But Mom and Dad are new at this, and they just don’t know: THAT’S ME GIGGLING!

What do they expect? They think I’m going to go straight from silent grinning to a giant belly laugh? Nope. I’m working up to it for sure. Eventually Mom and Dad will catch on, and when that happens, you can be sure to find video footage of it here on the blog. So stay tuned!

xoxo
