This is what Kate looked like the last two times I tried to feed her cereal. It was like she was saying, "Augh! There is stuff in my mouth! That's weird. Oh no, I swallowed some! I don't think I'm suppose to swallow stuff, but it was in my mouth." I think she might have gotten 1/2 a teaspoon down. 
Yesterday I tried again for the third time and she ate! There was still cereal all over but some of it went down -- on purpose even. Aleah had given her eating lessons earlier in the week. She would show Kate her spoon and then put it in her mouth saying, "Look, this is how you eat!" It seemed to work or something. Kate even tried to grab the spoon. She is growing up!
These last two weeks have been full of milestones. She turned 6 months old on the 19th. She all of a sudden likes grabbing and playing with toys. She also figured out yesterday, after 2 weeks of sitting in the exersaucer, that she could bounce up and down in it. I can put her down for bed awake for naps and at night but she still insists she needs to eat twice a night. Still some work to go but she is a sweet baby and usually very happy.
The Hansens loved making her laugh and smile. All the more fun because it is so easy.

She is a darling baby. I like the swoop of her bangs! Her cereal face is priceless too. Frankly, I'd look the same way if someone tried to shove that stuff down my throat :)
