sucking on an apple.

Olive tried some apple today.  I bit of a piece and put the part that stuck out the most up to her mouth.  She immediately started licking it, sucking on it, and smiling.  I'm really excited to start baby led weaning with her but she's not yet ready.  She's already really attentive when I'm eating - she watches the food and watches me eat it.  That's one of the things you look for for baby led weaning readiness but the biggest is sitting up independently which she, of course, does not yet do as she's only 12 weeks old.  Her eyes were locked on to the apple as I ate the rest of it.  I think she was more interested in the flavor of the apple than the chocolate chip and the cookie that I let her lick a few weeks ago - good!
