Emmie's New Highchair

This weekend Emmie got her own highchair from MeMe!! She loves it and I LOVE it too!! Emmie is starting to eat like a "big girl" from her highchair and loves it. She has been eating food for about a month now and loves, loves, loves food! We actually have to limit how much we feed her because she will eat and eat until we stop and then she won't take any milk! She was waking up at night again to eat the last couple of weeks and we figured out it was because she was simply thirsty from not drinking enough during the day. She was eating a jar of fruit AND veggie for lunch AND dinner and oatmeal and banana for breakfast!! After eating all that, she wouldn't take much milk, so we have cut back to only feeding her half jar of fruit and veggie for dinner and only milk for lunch!! That has worked and she is now doing better about sleeping through the night without wanting to eat!
AND this week she has learned to sit up by herself!!! It is amazing how fast she learned to do it! Just this week she started sitting up for a few seconds and then would fall over. By this weekend she started sitting up by herself AND playing with toys in front of her!! Just amazing how fast she is growing, I know she will be crawling/walking before long!! Here are pictures from her new highchair enjoy!!

Such a big girl sitting up by herself in her new high chair! She is too cute!! Sounds like you won't have to worry about her being a picky eater! That will be a good thing!

YAY for Emmie!!! How cute is she!?!?! I love her beautiful eyes! So precious!!!

Audrey's Granny got her a new high chair this weekend too! LOL!! Are those the Gerber Puff thingies on her tray? How are those going? I wondered if I should be giving them to Audrey or not. Also, do you know how long they are supposed to eat 1st foods before you move them on to 2nd? I'm thinking I should be moving Audrey on up before long. I probably should have already moved her up!

Oh, those puffs were like baby drugs for us!! We could just show J the container and he would go nuts!! She looks so cute and big sitting up in that high chair:)

I know you know this already, but she is BEAUTIFUL!!! And I am glad for you and Paul that she likes to eat...I think life would be much easier with a child that you don't have to shove food down their throat (actually, I finally decided she would eat when she got hungry). Anyway, Emmie has promoted to the high chair and sitting up on her own and next she will be mobile and you will be chasing all over the place and keeping her out of cabinets, plugs, etc.!!! Have fun:)
