little girl fed herself some berries today at 11AM, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. only a few of them, made a lovely berry jam of herself, the chair and the floor . she's had tastes here and there of other fruit but nothing more than a teensy bit at a time, this is her first larger portion (about a Tbsp). she's just over 6 months now.

there was no noticable difference in her behavior afterwards, no gas or any other indication of a digestive challenge and the transit time was about 4 hours with nothing but blueberry skins in her pants and a slightly darker colour and slightly different odour to her @#$%& soup, heh.

so there you go. girl likes the fruit and the fruit likes her! this will be all she gets for the duration of the year i think. perhaps some raw veg that i chew up for her first and nearer to a year perhaps we'll try some chewed up raw nuts/seeds. babies are fun.

Sweet. Isn't it exciting to watch them grow?!

I fed my best friends baby his first pineapple the other day, it was the most beautiful thing! He went crazy over it too he wouldn't let me take my hand away with the pineapple. But afterwards he kept puckering up his face, I think he was confused about what he just ate, but he loved it!
