Fun with food

wait a week, then 2 posts at once! er... ok i guess it's been almost 2 weeks. hehe...

We've been giving Aria bite-sized pieces of food for some time, but she is sometimes a lazy baby and doesn't chew everything up completely. Things don't get fully digested... I'll leave it at that. So a couple days ago we decided to try a little experiment. Give her large pieces of food so she has to bite pieces off. She has 13 teeth and she should use them! We started with a quarter of an apple for lunch, which ended up looking like a cute little mouse nibbled about half of it away.

Then for dinner, Dana gave Aria a big piece of tofu and she devoured it bite by bite. Next was some frozen raspberries (thawed). I think Dana was just going with how messy Aria could get. Then the real fun began when she gave her some broccoli, that's the video below. No explanation necessary other than the noise in the background is me vacuuming. :-)

I knew about this dinner so far, but after I was done cleaning the house, Dana showed me what she fed Aria next. She gave her a spoon (Aria's been learning how to use it for the past couple of weeks), and gave her a container of yogurt! Aria did kind of get the hang of it, her technique being dunk the spoon and try to get it all in. Messy Messy! Very funny pics and video.

watch this for what it is, then watch again and notice her left hand—kinda frozen out there! she's inherited that from me i think. :-)

There is nothing better than a fun game of peek-a-boo after we are all cleaned up!

A Thank You goes out to Dana for uploading the pics and videos on these last 2 posts, and doing a little bit of editing. I've been extremely busy with work this week and she's been asking me to post (that did say bugging, but that word is too close to nagging; she's been very polite about it). :-* that ones for you, wifey!
