CheeriQs and Puffs

You know why they are called Cheerios and not Cheeri-q-s? Because the little Q tails kept breaking during transport and everyone didn't understand why the box was full of "O's" when the name led them to believe it would be full of "Q's." The marketing department ultimately changed the name, but the process for making the "Q's" has remained the same. The tails still get broken in transportation.
One of Grace's new foods is Cheerios and yogurt puffs. The yogurt puffs are fruit flavored and quite obviously a different color than the Cheerios. This new meal has proven to me that without a doubt, Grace, and certainly all babies, can learn quickly. It has only been 4 days since she started eating this snack mix but Grace has learned that the yogurt puffs have a ton more flavor than the plane Cheerios. I know she knows this because she eats ALL the yogurt puffs before eating one Cheerio. I was able to catch a demonstration of this on camera during breakfast with only a solitary yogurt puff remaining.
Grace spies the lone puff (it's the star shaped one)... target acquired.
Going in for the kill...
"I got you now yogurt puff!"
Success!!

In case you are wondering where these photos have been taken - its on the window ledge of our hotel room in Seattle on the 22nd floor. Grace was checking out the Space Needle while chowing down. Photos of that later.
