Another day in the life of Emily's lunch-time adventures! Although most days she's very interested in her food, she still isn't great about getting much of it into her mouth. Today's meal was a bit of rice, boiled carrot, squash, pico and a slice of nectarine. She was pretty interested in the rice; so much so that Angelines couldn't help herself and began feeding her from her own fork. Emily loved it! I think she stuffed herself on rice! But the highlight of the meal was by far when she took it upon herself to drink from her glass.
They say that you needn't give breastfed babies any other liquids, although it's a good idea to offer water with food. Angelines has been giving her water in a glass for several weeks now. The truth is she drinks really well. The times we've tried a sippy cup it just hasn't worked at all...and I'd just as soon she not get used to a bottle even this late in the game. Today after helping her drink a little, she seemed like she wanted to do it herself, but wasn't quite sure how to grab the cup. She kept wanting to do it with just one hand like she does her food. Angelines helped her do it with two hands once and that was that!
Here's a quick video for you all--so cute!
Just to clarify, the first time there was nothing in the cup; and she had been doing much better than you see here before I thought to grab the camera. Pretty good, huh?
Thanks a lot of coordination! Emily is going to be an athlete for sure!
