Communication with an 8 month old...


The start of solids has been quite a guessing game.  At first Lila did just fine and then she started refusing to eat from a spoon.  We had her in the bumbo and she just wasn't having it.  So we moved her to the highchair.   We gave her some puffs and tried feeding her all sorts of babyfood with a spoon.  No luck.  She would eat some cereal if we piled it on the tray and give her a spoon, but after five minutes she would be screaming.  So I figured maybe the highchair was uncomfortable.  So I got the booster chair with a tray out and put her in it and put food on the tray.  Okay for a few minutes, but mad soon after.  Finally, we have had a breakthrough!!  See, all along, she just wanted to sit in a chair at the table, with her food on the table...just like her sisters!  Doesn't this expression just say it all!  "See, this is what I wanted all along!!"
