The post below is part of my Snapshot Series, an e-journal of my children. Like pages in a diary, I'll share the moments of laughter and smiles that keep my world turning. Captured like photographs. So when Jack leaves for college or Ella goes on her first date, I'll have this to remember. Read the series intro here.

Ella: 6 months
Ella’s fifth month
in this world was a big one. Belly-laughing. Rolling both ways. Scooting via belly, arms and butt combined.
Da-da’s. Feet-grabbing. Unsupported sitting. And finger foods. The newborn is
gone. She’s now a curious, babbling baby eager to explore and share her
opinions.
Two weeks ago she
mastered the finger-thumb to mouth skill. Reaching the milestone well before
her brother did at this age. She’s got his determination. But unlike him, she’s
also equipped with patience.
Today, she mastered
chewing. For a few weeks she’s been stuffing single Puffs in her mouth. Lips
smacking. Tongue in a tizzy. Attempting to swollow without gagging. Only to
have the tiny dissolving bite slip from her mouth in drool.
Today she gummed up
some Puffs. Successfully swallowed. Finished with a cheeky smile.
Next finger foods on
the menu: Cheerios, mushy banana, cooked and mushy tofu, cooked and mushy
beans, mushy pears and mushy peaches.
