Fun with Food and Friends

I took this picture this morning after Zoe slept 11 hours straight!! She wasn't the only one who has happy! We're trying to encourage self-feeding :) She apparently has no sensory issues with food..she loves to eat everything and squish it between her fingers (particularly her morning oatmeal). She'll pick up any food product (Cheerios, Gerber bites, graham crackers) but so far I can't get her to put them in her mouth herself. We're getting her to at least put her hands on the bottle when we feed her, but again, not real interest in doing it herself yet. She does love to play with her food and loves to look in the containers to see where everything is coming from!
These pictures are from our last night in Guangzhou. We had a pizza party in our room with some of the families that hadn't already left for the States. Zoe is playing with her friend the beautiful and silly Emma Rae. I love the last picture, it always makes me laugh :) We need to get Zoe into a playgroup here so she can go back to interacting with kids.

Oh Kristi, what a beautiful smile she has!! She is LOVING smashing her food. I am so happy to hear she slept 11 hours straight. Perhaps, she is comfortable and settling in knowing you and Eric will meet her every need and when she awakes you will be right there. I hope the sleep continues, what a difference it makes for all those involved! She is just precious!!

It is good to hear about the sleep. I'm sure you were very excited.

I love her adorable little smile. Can't wait to see her, Ava, Sarah, Indigo, and Kathryn together.
