On January 10th Paige was exposed to table food for the first time. She sucked on some banana slices, smashed them in her fists and maybe swallowed a bite or two. In just a little over three weeks she has learned how to efficiently get food in her mouth, chew with her gums and swallow.
The list of food she has eaten grows everyday and she has seemed to like everything: bananas, avocados, oranges, clementines, steamed broccoli, baked apples, hummus, pancakes, scrambled egg and cucumbers. Tonight we had chicken and dumplings and since the chicken was so tender she had her first bite of meat and loved it. Watching her eat and feed herself makes us so proud. She is doing so well and we feel great about skipping traditional baby food, exposing her to solids and letting her feed herself.
Yay Paige!!! Way to go, all three of you!
