Noelle's Eating!?!? Sort of.

In the past two months, we've tried solid food with Noelle just about every day.  Saying she doesn't like pureed food is an understatement.  It doesn't matter if it's yogurt, fruit, veggies, with or without oatmeal mixed in or just oatmeal mixed with breastmilk.  She lets purees sit in her mouth until they dribble out.

So, we've started to give her regular food, hoping that is what she would rather eat.  She likes to suck on some little gerber cookies and she will sometimes tolerate a puff or goldfish, although she eventually gags on those without eating them.  Today I gave her a cheese stick to see what she would do with it.  She was totally digging the taste and even chewed and ate a bit of it.  Most of what she did bite off, she pushed out of her mouth, but this is the most excited I've seen her about food in two months.  Fingers crossed for more progress on the eating front. 




And Brady, of course, insisted I take his picture when he saw me taking pictures of Noelle.  Even though 99% of the time, he gets upset when we try to take his picture now.
