25. Noble's First Nosh

Sitting. It's de rigeur for any woke baby these days. Noble takes her tips from her desperately out-of-touch parents who spend hours eating, reading and watching from the comfort of their asses daily, rarely refining their motor skills or innovatively slobbering on the undersides of things.

Despite my efforts to seamlessly integrate Daylight Savings Time and put her down 15 minutes earlier each night for the previous four days, Noble still howled for an hour and a half when I treated her to a brighter bedtime Sunday night. And thanks to teething, we're locked into a once-a-night cycle of her waking up and crying languidly for about 30 minutes before I go in and give her a 5 minute sip and lay her back down. While nursing in the dark and trying not to get her too excited, I've started doing slo-mo plié sequences for the full 5 minutes to pass the time. I'm testifying to that fact here, so I'll feel motivated to continue.

At 6 months, she's perfecting her latest expression, as evidenced by her near-constant silent roar of elation.

The mirror doesn't necessarily inform her expressions, but after spending a fair amount of time reflecting, her eyebrows have been werqing overtime.

Sunday, the eve of her ❤❤❤6 month❤❤❤ anniversary, we introduced bananas. Keeping a watchful eye on the camera, she allowed a few bites past those gummy gates before passing stern judgment and demanding full control of the scene.

And water. Utterly un-udderable strangeness.

The aftermath taught us a great deal about portioning, wardrobe and props.
