About two weeks ago, we realized Abigail is a bit old to still be eating baby food, and really needs to learn how to chew. So I started grinding up fruits for breakfast and veggies for lunch, because they're chunkier that way and will help her learn to chew. We still had plenty of dinner baby foods left, so until yesterday she's had Mom's Mix breakfasts & lunches, and baby foods like Turkey & Veggies and Chicken with Rice for dinner. Well, a couple of days ago she ate her last jar of baby food.
The night before last, we had meatloaf and veggies for dinner. All of us. I cut up Abigail's meatloaf into strips, because it's easier for her to chew on that way (she tries to swallow things that are cut up in chunks). She took a strip of meatloaf in her hand and started sucking on it. Then she stuffed the whole thing in her mouth, and immediately reached for more. If she'd have had her way, Abigail would have stuffed so much into her mouth that it would have sqooshed out of her ears. I think Big People Food Experiment Number One went well.
