Back in the cereal again

Not very bloggy, sorry. In brief:

• In the immortal words of The Tick, "Spoon!" Our little utensil refusnik ended her hunger strike earlier this week and is back to accepting victuals non-boobie. Applesauce is the golden elixir that tempted her back to the spoon and she is back to cereal and some veg, with varrying degrees of enthusiasm.
• Yelena graduated to her big girl car seat. She is traveling first class in the Britax Boulevard. It sure is cushie, much nicer than our car (sorry Bernie), and we can tell Yelena appreciates the view and comfort over her infant car seat. Yet, I miss the ease of plopping the infant car seat in the Snap and Go and not having to wake a sleeping child. Oh well.
• Yelena had her first swim class Monday! Eli left work early to join us this one time. Yelena seemed to like it -- no tears or objections -- and was so cute kicking in the water.
