Stella is not the tidiest eater. In fact Stella is a lot more messy than her sister ever was. She loves nothing more than tasting a mouthful of food, then spitting it out into her hands and smearing it across her highchair table, in her hair, squishing it between her fingers and generally making a complete mess of her immediate vicinity!

Stella is a moody eater, sometimes hungry and eager and other times grumpy and furious and just tonight before she had even had a mouthful of the delicious baby bolognaise I had lovingly prepared for her, she sunk her head onto her hands and wailed, the picture of misery. I am hoping the teeth that are causing her so much distress come through soon so we can get back to her usual messy antics.
