Fun with zippers

Zippers fascinate Rachel. She doesn't quite have the motor control to grasp and pull them up and down, but she goes right for them whenever Drew and I hold her. (We have several pullovers with zip-up necks). I've tried to grasp her little fingers and fold them around the zippers, to no avail.

Big day yesterday for her: At day care, she ate an entire jar of bananas! We're about at the point where we need to feed her three times a day instead of two. Unfortunately our mornings are so rushed that we don't have time to sit down and patiently feed her oatmeal. So she ends up eating solids twice a day instead of three. Does that make me a bad mom?

Her latest tricks are to blow raspberries right after she's taken a spoonful of carrots, meaning that her bib, the high chair tray and mommy get covered in orange goop. Afterward, she cocks her head to the side and gives a big grin as if to say, "Hey! I'm cute! Take my picture!"

She would be exasperating if she weren't so funny. And cute.
