More on Eating Solids

She does what I call "Happy Feet" - she taps both feet on the ground while she's being fed in her Bumbo, throughout the entire meal. She only does it while she's eating and it's cute to watch.

She averages 3 oz (6 Tbsp) a feed, but has gone up to 4 oz. So far, we've tried sweet potato, avocado, papaya, apples, spinach (she didn't like!) and broccoli. On top of brown rice cereal.

She will cry if we run out of food and she wants more. Her mouth opens really wide, she arches her back and cries.

She's gotten better at eating - she's very neat now so there's hardly any mess at all. And she can suck her spoon to get every little bit of food off.

Other developments - she likes blowing bubbles with her saliva. She can shriek quite loudly...and her favourite "words" - na-na, nan-nan and da-da. Sadly, no ma-ma. Yet.
