food

Lydia is getting to be an eating aficionado - yellow squash, green beans, purple hull peas, green peas, spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes, avacado, banana, apple, pear, peach, mango, and butternut squash. Every day she gets bettter at opening her mouth and gumming the food - barely any is coming out of her mouth!

Eden loves to help - she helps cook Lydia's food, smush it up, mix it with rice cereal or oatmeal, and feed! And, she loves the grapefruit and oranges sent to her by her Mama II and Aunt Beverly.

And they both like to play like they are eating all sorts of things ... like a pair of pants. I really wish that a pair of pants would entertain me for 15 minutes ...

When she is done with her dinner, we usually give Lydia a spoon or something else to chew on.

Lately, she has been interested in our drinks (acting like she is drinking from a real cup with a little help, though she isn't actually getting any water) and with finger food - just tonight she was eating bread. Very exciting!
