She's pretty excited about it! She is so grown up that we decided it was time for pig tails! They are so convenient they keep Eleanore's beautiful hair carrot free.
Speaking of carrots that was the new food that Eleanore tried today. It was a hit. Although do to my little girls strong need for independence mom isn't aloud to feed her with a spoon. In fact, I'm not really aloud to help at all. She is fine with me taking whatever it is that she will be eating for the day and mashing it up for her. But they it's 'Hands off mama. I've got this!'
It's a little bit messy. We have to wash her seat cover at least every couple of days now. And the floor needs daily TLC... but it's SO much fun to do things on her own! So while Eleanore feeds herself I get time to clean up the kitchen and show her how awesome my dancing skills truly are.
This is what we are left with in the end. And this is only the first meal of the day! Luckily the pig tails helped keep her hair minimally crusty so we could hold the bath off until bedtime. She wasn't even that sticky! Although I did find some leftover carrot in her ear during our walk.
But she didn't mind! Cause we got to play outside!
Then we came home, ate a delicious dinner of squash and pears, and took a celebratory bubble bath because... Eleanore's 6 months old!
