Oh what a difference a day makes! A couple of days ago, I tried to feed Rebecca a few pieces of banana. She was less than impressed.
Tonight, we went out to a local restaurant with my in-laws, and in a frantic effort to appease a fussy Rebecca, I tore off a piece of my bread and put it in her hand. I expected that she would repeat her banana-antics and simply touch it to her lips and then let it dribble down her chin. Not this time. It took her a while to work the morsel of bread from her palm into her mouth, but once it was in there, she was quite content. She mashed up and down on it with her gums, as if we had slipped sticky peanut butter into the mix. She eventually swallowed it and started looking for more. When I held out the next crumb, her eyes widened with interest and she quickly grabbed the bread and shoveled it – this time with two hands – into her open mouth. She probably ate about six bites of bread before we left for home. Not bad for her first table food consumption. It looks like Rebecca is going to take after my love of carbohydrates. No Atkin’s Diet for us!
I took a video of the girls “chatting†with each other on the floor this afternoon. Unfortunately, by the time I got out the camera, they had finished most of their conversation. But I still captured a few snippets, and it gives you a little glimpse into their level of communication. It also shows how close they are to crawling. Susanna (on the left in the video) looks as if she could start any day.
