Ella has a new favorite food - wagon wheels. The only finger food she's had before was her puffs which she loves but she eats them really quickly and we only trust her to eat one at a time, so that involves passing them to her, one at a time. I thought she was ready for the next step, so this weekend at the store I got these wagon wheels which are a lot bigger and she can kind of chew on it until it starts to dissolve and fall apart and then she swallows it. They are carrot flavored but pretty much just a big piece of cereal with some carrot powder on them, so definitely not winning any taste-test awards (at least for adults!) Also they probably feel good on her gums (still no teeth but you can definitely see some white and looks like they've got to be appearing any day now).
I am so surprised how much she likes them, and how long they keep her occupied for. Tonight we had a first - eating dinner with Ella sitting in her high chair at the table with us. Usually we eat after she goes to bed, or if she is still awake she sits on our lap. But we put her in her high chair and she happily ate 2 wagon wheels while we ate dinner. Sounds like a small thing but it feels like a milestone - such a big girl!!
