Yummy in My Tummy

Lately, I have started to introduce new finger foods like a small piece of a REAL banana, a tiny slice of a strawberry, and most recently Cheerios! To my surprise, the second Evie saw the Cheerios she carefully grasped one or two and put them right in her mouth! I totally was not expecting her to be able to pick up one. She gummed the cereal, sucked on it, and then swallowed. She liked it! She was fascinated with them and slowly manipulated them with her index fingers. This very intense fine motor activity quickly tired her out, so most of the Cheerios ended up stuck to her face and hands or landed on the floor. Now, Evie LOVES Cheerios. After she eats her meal, a fruit or vegetable, she gets Cheerios for dessert. She has a few every day.
