Today was a good day for feeding. We had a home visit and we were eating at the table outside because it was so nice in the morning ( as opposed to the 100+ temps of last week!) The second feeding session lasted at least 20 minutes!!! with Gracie just digging into her nutella and having a great time. Tricia was feeding her from her finger, which seems to be working better than the spoon for now. She was just keeping her finger in front of Grace, not forcing anything, and eventually Gracie actually put Tricia's finger in her mouth!! You could have knocked us over with a feather! She also put her own finger, with nutella, in her own mouth at least 10 times!!! Nutella is great!!
Naturally, my solo session in the evening didn't go as well. Hershey's doesn't stick to the finger like the nutella! But as you can see from the pictures, it didn't go badly. She's so much more comfortable. Now it's just a matter of getting more into the mouth eventually and getting her to realize that that stuff we put in front of her to play with actually helps her tummy to feel full!
She also signed for more several times today! She was frustrated because Tricia wasn't pushing her on the swing so she eventually did the sign for more! Also I bought her and Joy books at Wegmans today and when I took the book from her to pay for it, she gave Joy the sign for more!! Whoo hoo!
