More Food Please

Chan Man continues to chomp away with his two bottom teeth and loves eating, especially after getting over the stomach bug.  He's recently put up a protest and doesn't like any of the pureed broccoli that I make him.  In the meantime he's been enjoying pureed lentils, sweet potato and butternut squash the most.  He's developed some expensive taste for pears though too.  We got some Harry & David pears once and since then he can't get enough.  We put a nice chunk of the ripened pear in this mesh feeding net that he can suck on and he goes to town with it.

All this food is making him nice and strong too.  He can now go from a sitting position to crawling without face planting.  And then when he's crawling he can push back into a seated position.  He still gets around by army crawling and loves to rock on all fours when he gets a chance.  He's even pulled himself up in the bathtub onto the ledge of his baby bath.  It's low enough for him to do that but nothing else in the house is that low so we haven't seen it again.

Esme has also been on a feeding frenzy.  We think she's going through a growth spurt cause she's been eating so much more than normal.  She's never been a big eater so when she starts requesting second and third helpings of things we know somethings up.  Her favorite thing to make lately has been smoothies.  She likes to help me put all the ingredients in the blender and then watch it get all mixed up.  On school days she gets breakfast and lunch at Faye's and I'm thankful because they offer her so many different kinds of foods.  At home, she usually eats her broccoli or green beans first if they're on her plate.  Sometimes she even steals some off our plates.  Then she gets to her rice and main course.

For Christmas Esme got a puzzle set and she's been obsessed with it ever since.  It's a box with four puzzles inside.  I think each puzzle has about 30 pieces and she's getting so good that we think she's memorizing them.  Regardless it still entertains her for long periods of time which is nice.      

Keeping the bald head warm.
