TS has become a pro at eating. She gets excited when we put her in the high chair and will immediately grab whatever is put down for her. She's still working on getting it all into her mouth. However, a big part of baby led weaning is that early eating experiences are about the experience more than the actual eating. She's experiencing the feeling of sweet potato squishing between her fingers, of banging squash on the high chair tray, and of watching the dog eat dropped pieces of carrot. All of those are equally as exciting as eating right now.
It was a big weekend of eating for her. We visited her Meemoo and her Doodad in Corvallis and I wanted to show off her eating prowess. We microwaved her some apple, carrot, and asian pear at Meemoo's. Apple was a big hit. The carrot was a little chewy and the asian pear was still too crunchy. She had an asparagus stalk at Doodad's and then tried watermelon and blackberries for dessert.
