A big day

Akari had two interesting breakthroughs today. She is about six and a half months old now.

She was eating baby food from a jar, or I should say, not eating baby food from a jar in spite of Mama's coaxing. She was however interested in grabbing the spoon, which Mama let her do. She grabbed the spoon and immediately shoveled the baby food into her mouth. It seems that if she gets to feed herself, even store-bought baby food is good enough to eat.






Her aim needs some work, but she is quick to give the spoon back so Mama can refill it.












This one gives an idea of how proud she is of herself.












Her second breakthrough today was pulling herself to standing without any assistance.

Picture E and F, if they existed, would have shown her falling into and then crumpled up inside the toy box. However, I dropped the camera when I saw her toppling over.
