Rachel's pitching arm

I swear, she is developing quite the pitching arm! She actually was winding up last night before throwing her little rubber ball toward me. I threw it back. Then, she put it in one hand, got down on her hands and knees and crawled to me as fast as she could...then put her little head face-down in my lap! I just laughed and hugged her tummy and stroked her back. Then she popped up and crawled to the refrigerator and started playing with the magnetized letters and numbers we've stuck up there.

The tummy bug left her very hungry. Last night she ate: A jar of turkey vegetable baby food, most of a Gardenburger (thank you Amy, for that fantastic suggestion!), two Saltines and a cup of unsweetened applesauce.

Drew was relieved to hear she likes something other than strawberries, American cheese and soy crackers.

  1. Wow, so Rachel can chew up the Gardenburger? Do you break it into tiny pieces or give her the patty to chew on?

  2. I break it into tiny pieces and give her one at a time. (Drew thinks that piling multiple food choices on her plate confuses her). She smacked her lips, so I know she liked it!

    We're also feeding her unsweetened applesauce. And Saltines, although Drew would prefer I give her non-salty crackers. I found some round soy ones at Trader Joe's.

    She also loves American cheese...
