This week, I've started letting Kate have whole things to eat. Admittedly, I've been a little paranoid with the cutting everything up into baby bite-sized pieces. But she's giving me pretty good hints that she's ready to bite off whatever she can chew. For instance, she pretty much stole this nectarine right out of my hands when I was holding her and trying to eat it the other day. So I let her have it. And had to give her a bath at 1:30 in the afternoon because she smeared it all over herself.
Similar results were obtained with a graham cracker. But look how happy she is.

I cannot walk down the street these days without J trying to launch himself out of my arms and onto the nearest corner store fruit stand. He is all about the eating of the whole fruits! And you can just forget about prying the plum or peach from his mega power grip so that the item can be weighed when we go inside to pay. It's a problem!

Charity, I can't wait either. One week! Leigh, I saw that photo of the kiddo and the giant peach on your blog .... he looks totally happy. There must be something magical about eating something almost the size of your head. :)

I don't think I could refuse this child anything. (Kate, are you ready for s'mores?? Of course your Aunt Becca will share!)
