she fed herself!! Well, only with a biter biscuit though. :) They taste like animal crackers and are big enough for her to hold on to while gumming it. They melt as she gums it and she LOVED it! I'm also trying to work on other "table foods" now too besides just pureed veggies/fruits. This past week she has really seemed to get the hang of having to chew/gum food. So far she has eaten the gerber puffs, pieces of my french fry, and pieces of a whole wheat waffle. She can't pick up small pieces of food yet since she hasn't developed the "pincer" grasp. I think that emerges somewhere around 9-10 months. She does try to grab it though with her hand. It usually gets stuck in her palm and then she can't find it! I also tried pieces of banana but she didn't like it... go figure, cause she LOVES pureed/mashed banana.
I also keep trying a sippy cup but she has yet to figure that out. She doesn't want to have to suck that hard. Bottles are much easier to get the liquid out. Lily does know how to hold her bottle but won't hold it to drink out of. She obviously doesn't get that you have to tip it up for something to come out.
And remember that story I wrote about the other day how Lily turned around to get the tiger stuffed toy to take with her? Well... I think she is definitely starting to show a preference for that thing and it may be her chosen "lovey." The past few days she keeps going to that thing and dragging it around with her. It's really cute... just wish she had chosen a cuter stuffed toy that mommy likes. :) Instead she goes for the $1 stuffed toy that her dad won her out of a claw machine! Oh well... she loves it and that's all that matters.
Today is packing day as we are leaving tomorrow to go to see my sister's family!! I'm so excited to see Ava, Cecilia, and Owen. I'm sure C&O (as my sister lovingly refers to them as) will have grown a lot since I saw them last even though it's only been like 6 weeks. And Ava actually told me on the phone the other day that it was okay for Lily to come with us too - haha. Ava goes back and forth between liking and not liking her depending upon what Lily is doing at the moment! Don't worry - I know they'll love each other when Lily gets a bit older and can play with Ava. They're going to be best friends - they just don't it yet. :)
And just a cute pic I took of Lily... look at that ADORABLE face. Yes - Matt and I make the most beautiful children! :)
