| Avery fits just right under the kitchen table. This is her favorite
place to stand up. We have benches along both long sides of the table
so there are lots of places to hold on. She crawls under the table and
stands up. We bring her out and she goes right back under. As she has
gotten better at pulling up next to other objects she isn't as attracted
to this spot. But many days she and Aaron still play under the table
and Aaron shares raisins with her. This is confirmed by the
reconstituted "grapes" that I find in her diaper.
Avery is eating lots of solids. Raisins are just a little bit ahead of
her. She likes bananas, sweet potatoes, avocado, peaches (LOVES
peaches), watermelon, blueberries, and anything else she can get a taste
of. We just got back from Phoenix where Brad had a Chiropractic
conference. Just the three of us went (Brad, Janet, and Avery - we had a
family friend stay with the older kids at home.) I was letting her
taste baby mushrooms. She really loved them. I was holding it and just
letting suck on it and she was mad when I took it away. (I didn't want
her to choke, so when it got too mushed up I took it out of her mouth
before it broke into pieces.) I got another mushroom for her to taste
and she sucked it down as soon as it reached her mouth. She swallowed
it whole! That was the end of sampling Mom's food. She was very
pleased with herself though!
