I'm starting Alanna on some more solids. Right now she's in the high chair with a bib. She has a piece of soft bread, a bunch of cheerios scattered on the tray, and I've given her a couple of bites of diced pear. Seems to be going over well.

She's been chomping down on me a lot, and showing a lot of interest in solids, I think it's time. I'm not really ready for it, but I think she is. I want to find good ways to get healthy, single-ingredient or few-ingredient foods in front of her - as much as possible just baby-friendly people-foods, not "babyfood".

I need help, please, finding something.

When I was a kid, my parents got a stepstool with a padded seat - served double duty as stepstool for high things in cupboards, but more as a seat for my baby sister, when she'd outgrown the high chair but was still too short for a regular table chair.

We have one, I don't remember when we got it or where, but it was a long time ago. It serves as Maggie's seat at the table now, and Jamie uses it if Maggie's not home. That's the one in the pictures.

Alanna's growing big enough to be in the high chair now, and we only have the one here nowadays - and Jamie really should be moving up and out of the high chair himself.

So - I need another stepstool. I really need several, as we could use one over at the Euless apartment too, since the kids are over there a lot.

I don't know where to find one. We went looking. None at Bed Bath and Beyond, none at Walmart, I think we also checked Target.

Anyone know where I can find one? I'm willing to order online if the shipping isn't TOO awful.

She ate the entire cup of diced pears. She seemed to enjoy it a lot, was eager for it. Clearly I need to be feeding her more solids more often. She had a bit of a "what took you so long?" look.

Alanna got fussy after eating - I'd laid her down with a bottle with some water (she'd been wanting to drink from a sippy cup but can't get the sucking right yet, and the bottle in the high chair she didn't understand that she needed to tip it up), and she rolled on it which hurt, then she wouldnt' stop crying, and I realized she needed to nurse to sleep, so we did. So yay, she still does need me.
