after a brief hiatus, we are back to having lots of fun with food. a couple nights ago, bebe had some butternut squash for dinner (with a rice cake too).


squash is an appropriate name.

she really liked it.

and this morning, bebe joined me while i had my usual bowl of oatmeal with sliced banana. i gave her a banana to eat,

which got much easier to do once she broke a big piece off.

this was the food she liked most of any she'd encountered so far. with everything else, it has been more of a general exploration, sort of the way she explores everything with her mouth, and it seemed almost accidental that some of it ended up getting swallowed. not with the banana though -- she went back for more and more and more until about half of the big piece had made it into her belly and the other half was on her bib and clothes and high chair and the floor.


banana only occupied the "favorite food" pedestal for a brief time, however. it was quickly knocked off by the spoonfuls of oatmeal i handed to bebe to feed to herself. she couldn't get enough, and made a "mmm, mmm, mmmm!" sound the entire time she was devouring it.
