Tuesday

Georgie doesn't like pureed avocados. Or pureed bananas. But if I give her small pieces of a banana that I'm eating, she likes it (she also likes greener bananas rather than yellower/browner; I've tried giving her both.) And she loves eating rice crispies, feeding herself from her high-chair tray. So I thought maybe if she fed herself mashed up avocados, maybe she'd like them. Mostly she just got her clothes and face messy (in my excitement about the avocado experiment, I forgot to put a bib on her). But she did eat some. And she ate some from my finger, too.



After avocados, we tried carrots, which she's always loved.




After dinner, my dad read her a couple books. She's been doing a lot of pointing lately, and we always point to pictures in the books when we read them. Tonight she started taking my dad's finger and pointing to things in the book, including making him touch the baby animals (in the book from Uncle Kevin, Touch and Feel the Baby Animals).



She would touch the animals on the page, too, and then put her fingers in her mouth (an extension of putting everything in her mouth from the carpet, or maybe a lesson she learned from the avocado experiment at dinner).


Then she'd touch my dad's finger to the animal and try to put his fingers in her mouth. A couple more of her taking turns with my dad touching the book.
