girl at large

Little “Chee Chee”, as everyone (except myself) calls her, is five months old now. Though she’s been doing it for two weeks, I still am shocked every time I see her sitting up. It’s a different baby there, surrounded by pillows, looking at me horizontally. Sitting up, she looks even more like Paulie. I think it’s the way the light catches those ears.

I gave her a little liquified banana this weekend. She let it rest in her mouth, then pushed it out with all the usual drool. Her first taste of food was very exciting for her Papa—I think he envisions her merrily chowing down on lasagna next week. I don’t want to disappoint him with the truth of the very long series of baby steps until that point. And the diapers! Oh, the solid food diapers!
