...and Ally is doing well. So, since that first fateful day when she ate 8 Cheerios, they have quickly emerged as the #1 favorite food. A meal is not complete with a healthy searving of Cheerios. In fact, I have a theory that she could eat them 100% of her awake time. She eats them one at a time, and can chew them up and swallow them at the rate of about 2 per minute. She doesn't have that pincer grasp yet, so it's a silly game of figuring out how to grasp the Cheerio just right to get it into her mouth. We end up gently placing most Cheerios she eats into her wide open mouth. No photo of that yet!
She is also eating bits of pasta, chicken and string cheese (occasionally), graham cracher sticks (a favorite), some yogurt when the mood strikes (which isn't often), and the occasional binge of mandarin oranges (THANKS Michelle for the post about that Sabrina favorite!) Oh, and she loves Gerber puffs and wagon wheels.
All other attempts at fruit have been rejected. She isn't into mushy. We keep on trying, but most other stuff gets rejected. We're just happy she is eating again!
On the other baby front: MOVEMENT. We don't have crawling, but a lot of on-the-belly shuffling. She can pivot so fast it's unbelieveable. She can slide herself backwards okay, too. She has started to get closer to the crawling position. She is most often into the baby pushup, which I'm told is a common step before learning the crawling position. She does get on her knees and rock sometimes, and we're trying to brace her feet behind her when she's on the floor to help her get into that position, too. Here are the action shots, as well as a cute overall picture.
