Family dinner time is no longer nursing time. You watch the plates, you watch the mouths moving as you move yours. you get excited, moving forward, arms and legs in the air, noises of rebellion coming from your mouth. I turn you to the boob, but you push away, angry and turn your head back at the table.
We bring in yogurt in a little cup and a tiny spoon, and you eat and eat. At first, you didn't like yogurt. We tried different yogurt brands and found one that you like. you didn't know to open your mouth or to swallow. Then you wanted to eat, but didn't know what to make of a spoon. you licked the yogurt like a little kitten. One day you figured out to open your mouth. If I pause for a moment to feed myself or for whatever reason, you get upset, even red in the face and lean forward for more, until the little cup is empty. Zoe comes to give you a few spoons a well. She likes feeding her little sister.
We also tested a few other foods, but for now, we'll stick to yogurt for a couple of weeks.
Your first food, though, are apples. When I eat apples,you want some too. I hold it for you and you suck it like a popsicle. But I think apples make you constipated, so we are going easy on that.
I love you so, my little one.
Mommy
