Banana-pillar

There are definitely easier ways to feed, but it sounds like she had
fun, and that's worth alot.

BTW she's very cute.

Scheduling couldn't be worked out for tomorrow, so Grandma
and Grandpa came over this afternoon for the first solid
feeding.

They wanted to give her banana, and that was fine with us.
They were really so much more excited about it than we were,
so we just let them have at it.

I figured they'd mash up the banana, but they just gave her
about half of it whole. She put the banana in her mouth,
and bit off a huge chunk. It was so shocking to her that
she let it all fall right back out. It must have tasted
good because she picked the chunks back up and gnawed on
them some more. Every time she'd get a tiny bit broken off,
she'd make a horrible disgusted face and swallow it right
down. By the time she was done "eating," both she and the
high chair were permeated with squished banana. I suspect
she ate a teaspoon's worth. (None of which came from a
spoon; spooned banana was spit right back out.) Since the
whole thing involved an hour and a bath and 3
banana-drenched grownups, it might be awhile before she gets
solids again.

Phoebe *whodda thunk banana stained?*

lol
my first thought was "ooh, bananas stain clothes black"

Thank you so much for saying something! I plan on banana being Zoe's
first food (er, ignoring the bite of sweet potato she had on
thanksgiving that made her cry). Now I know to dress her in ... a
diaper! Although if she reacts to the banana like she did the bite of
sweet potato, she'll be clean as a whistle.

Alexandra (we call her Alex). I couldn't tell you the
real names of her age-mates Moo Boy or Bug or Pillbug,
though.

Moo Boy's real name is Toffee (I know, but there you go, so many
people said we couldn't we had to) We refer to him as The Moo mostly
though he is sometimes called Hoola.

Caterpillar is a beauty, I'm impresed with her banana eating, she
looks so grown up. I think we'll try banana next week.

Oh, I remember that conversation! His middle name is Felix,
right?

The novelty has worn off. The Kohl's ad got a much more
enthusiastic reception than the banana did today.

Awwww... She's adorable. We tried Bug on banana today, but she wasn't
too interested. She'd been off food for the past few days until
tonight, when she once again ate her cereal with gusto. Babies are
mysterious.

Pillbug is really Samuel, but we call him MaoMao,
his Chinese nickname. At home, I use Pillbug
as a verb, as in, he's pillbugging again.

Does that mean she ate it with gusto, or that she refused entirely? DD is

Maybe it was too many "fee's", not too many "f's" per se g!

Our last name has two "r's" in it, and when we told my cousin and his wife
we'd named our daughter Aurora, her first comment was "Wow, that has a lot
of "r's" in it." It hadn't even occurred to me until she mentioned it,
though, but she's right. Of course, my first name combined with our last has
just as many "r's", and I later realized that their son's first name/middle
name combination has 4 "d's" in it, so I think sometimes we alliterate a lot
without being aware of it. Repeating whole syllables, on the other hand,
sounds obviously weird or cutesy!
