How about them appl... uhm... green beans?

Kate had her second helping of Green Beans this evening and despite a few grimaces here and there (like the one pictured at left), she did much better this time 'round.  There was much less hacking, choking, and gagging tonight - which made the dinner experience far less entertaining for Chesney and me.  But, I guess that it is more important that Kate actually eats and gets food in her stomach than in trying to make her parents laugh at her ridiculous facial expressions (if only we could somehow manage both).  We also got a portion of tonight's feeding on video as well, so hopefully I'll be able to post a few excerpts once I have time to transfer it to my computer.  
On the bathing front... Kate seemed to discover this evening that she could make the water go flying from the tub by violently smacking her hands against it.  Initially, I think that she did it by accident.  She had one of her floating toys in her hand and began to shake it up and down like she does so often with her toys.  This time, however, the toy ended up making contact with the surface of the bath water and it caused a huge splash... causing water to go flying 3-4 feet behind her.  From there, she repeated the experiment several times with the floating fish toy and then moved on to trying it with her bare hands.  Water was going everywhere!  You should have seen the smile on her face (and on mine).  I have a feeling that bath time will become a much more chaotic experience in the days to come...
