BLS: GREEN BEANS AND PEACHES

Green beans were another hit. She eats them easily. Of course, I often see her squeeze the bean out of the casing, then dump the casing. She's mighty crafty, this one.Peaches were a much-loved flavor, but another food that was difficult for her to eat. She could handle them well enough (though they were awfully slippery), but they didn't mush as well as her other foods. She ate some, but most of each piece just seemed to fall into her lap repeatedly.Or into her new catch-all bib:I like that it keeps some of the mess out of her lap, and she likes fishing around in the pocket for more to eat. Especially if I'm not handing over new pieces fast enough!

Finally, here is a video (since we haven't posted one in a while) to demonstrate how far she's come over the past month and a half. She's definitely eating 1/2-3/4 of what we serve her, losing less and less to the abyss that is her highchair. She hardly ever gags anymore, and is really good about spitting out bites when she gets more than she can chew. And her pincher grip is almost there already! (Here she is eating butternut squash and Puffs)
