I have pretty much given up on feeding my baby only perfectly healthy foods. We are now in a just get her to eat anything until she gets used to eating and old enough to reason with stage. So, I cooked up one of my childhood favorites - Mac'n'Cheese! She likes it! At least yesterday and today. Tomorrow it may become the worst tasting food ever. Today we enjoyed a long walk outside followed by play time on a blanket out back. I just love living on campus on beautiful days like today - how many people get to enjoy a 100 acre back yard!
Abby turned 11 months on Friday. She had a 5th tooth poke through and possibly a 6th but it is hard to check without risking the loss of an apendage. She loves climbing stairs, playing on top of the pool table and emptying drawers. She is becoming more and more interactive. She now trys to feed Eugene and I her food (does that really surprise anyone?) and hands us things as she plays. When she sees her Old McDonald book she says, "e-i-e-i-ooo". Tonight actually she kept repeating that over and over and over and over and over. She is starting to enjoy filling things back up that she has emptied - time to teach clean-up! At breakfast she will put her cherios back into the cereal box one-by-one, occasionally stopping to take a bite. Yes, a bite. Apparently if she put the whole thing in her mouth that might be considered eating and, well, we all know that just wouldn't do.
