Emmie: Highchairs and Sippy Cups

We decided that Emmie is too big to be eating in her bumbo seat any longer. We made a trip to Babies R Us and Emmie picked out her highchair. She picked a lovely one with a monkey on the back ,since we so kindly refer to her as the "Chunky Monkey". So far, we think she is enjoying eating in her chair.
She is also practicing using her sippy cup during the day. She can get a couple of sips out of the cup so far, but she would really prefer Mommy to hold the cup so she can lay back and relax while drinking some pear juice!
She also has moved on to "finger foods". This is just an attempt, but so far so good. She has tried some organic banana "puffs", that are similar to cheerios, but they melt in her mouth after a few good chews. At first, Emmie did not like them, but she is getting the hang of it. She also had a cheesy, garlic biscuit at Red Lobster. No, this was not given to her by her Grandma, but by her Daddy, GASP. Daddy was the one trying to follow all the baby books, but he definitely got caught feeding Emmie a biscuit. His excuse, "What, she looked hungry". What Emmie wants, Emmie seems to get!
