We tried Acorn Squash for the first time on Thursday.
The first bite. Any new taste requires a moment or two for consideration...
But the verdict was clear with Squash. She likes it!!! No adjustment period necessary (as with peas and beans, which she didn't embrace immediately, but now seems to enjoy). I don't blame her for liking the squash best- I tasted it when I smashed it up and it has a very nice, sweet, creamy flavor!
Today Papa Craig invited Carolyn to begin a trip down the road to Self-Feeding. LMC has been waiting eagerly for such an invitation from someone who doesn't care how much of a mess she makes or whether any of the food makes it into her mouth! :)
Hands on experiences are much more fun. It is much more exciting to be able to smash the food in ones fingers, smear it all over one's face and attempt to consume the spoon, the food, and one's fingers all at the same time. :)
Arms "akimbo" waiting for the next refill of the spoon.
Yum!! This is great!!
I love being a big girl!!! If you look very closely in this picture, you can see Tooth #1 on Carolyn's bottom left gum. :) Tooth #2 has not yet made it through the gum, but it's coming!!

Sorry! I always thought "arms akimbo" meant straight out, but the dictionary says:
akim·bo
Pronunciation: &-'kim-(")bO
Function: adjective or adverb
Etymology: Middle English in kenebowe
1 : having the hand on the hip and the elbow turned outward
2 : set in a bent position (a tailor sitting with legs akimbo)
yay! it was about time for another post... could it be true that her hair is now laying down in a nice ladylike style???
