And another first...


And another first...

First use of a high chair. Also very popular with mom, who has been trying to take bites in between feeding Jenny and keeping her from dancing on the table.

Jenny actually reached for the chair at breakfast this morning. Not to let a golden opportunity go by, I plopped her right in. Dave was quite impressed when he returned from the buffet table. Jenny? Not so sure. She figured out pretty quickly that this was perhaps not a smart move (see illustration). Dave and I are pretty sure she had been feeding herself at the orphanage, but since coming to us, she's been very dependent and acting like an infant. As she gets more comfortable (OK, more bored), she's reaching again for her independence.

And mom gets to eat a few bites of breakfast. You moms will all appreciate this.
