We had our first attempt at Summer eating food yesterday - it didn't go over too well. The first time it touched her tongue, she made this wretched face. We tried for 5 or 10 minutes to get her to eat - we're not sure if she swallowed anything, but if she did, it probably came right back up when she spit up after we took her out of her chair. (She was in the bouncer - we don't have a high chair yet.) It was rather amusing. Yes, we took pictures. She wasn't in a very good mood today, so we'll try again tomorrow.
I had a Primary meeting last night with a member of the Primary General Presidency - it was really good. The topic was about teaching from the scriptures - there were techniques of how to teach children from the scriptures, and of course a lot of encouragement about how we need to learn the scriptures ourselves if we're going to teach from them. Sister Lillerth (or something like that - she's the 1st counselor) referred to a recent New Era article by Elder Bednar about studying the scriptures. Of course this is a subject we've heard ad nauseum since we were in Primary - this time, the emphasis was on how hard we must work at studying the scriptures. I'd never heard it put quite like that before. The article is online at http://www.lds.org/gospellibrary/pdfmagazine/0,7779,593-8-1,00.html# in the April 2006 issue. I encourage you all to read it, and make time to read the scriptures regularly. We read together as a family every night (yes, we do it with Summer), but we're definitely lacking in our personal reading. That's our focus to improve on right now.

Have you tasted that rice cereal? It really doen't taste all that good.
Yes, actually I did - I checked the temperature with my tongue. It was mostly formula, which she's familiar with, and very little actual cereal in it. So there wasn't much taste from the cereal there, if any at all.
