Mealtime with Haley has become quite an undertaking. She is cranky about eating most of the time. She has started to shake her head “no” at me, which is super fun (highly sarcastic there, if you didn’t catch it). It doesn’t matter what is on the end of the spoon, she doesn’t want it for the first, oh, few minutes. Then she settles in and resigns to eating.
We’ve stopped getting out crackers or puffs until after she’s had her bowl, because otherwise she screams and shakes her head until she gets one. Nice. Also, the other day she dropped her cracker from her high chair, leaned over the edge to point to it, and said, “Ca ca.” Good heavens! Grandma Cole has started calling her “Carb Queen.”
The good news is that she loves to feed herself and is not afraid to tear into apple slices, crusts of bread, etc. Look what she did to the apple slice below… keep in mind she has no teeth!
A video to testify… she is distracted by the camera here or something because normally it is much longer before she settles down.
