Bananas

We have been busy little bees this week. Katie is trying all kinds of stage two combination food like apple, strawberry, banana and apricot with mixed berry which seems to be a favorite of hers but not of mine because it leaves a nice purple stain on everything it touches although everything comes out pretty well in the wash so no worries. This morning we tried a banana when breakfast was done. I chopped a banana and put the pieces on her tray and she picked them up (by the way bananas are slippery little things so it was hard for her to pick them up) and just squished them in her hands. She got one piece in her mouth but the majority got squished in her little hands before making them to her mouth. I ended up putting pieces on my finger and letting her eat them off the tips of my finger. Most that went in just came back out. She didn't really understand how to swallow pieces of something rather than puree food. Because god knows she is a pro at eating puree. She is my little piggy! She loves food!!! I'm not sure how else to give the pieces to her without them squishing. She did start coughing once cus I gave her a piece that was too big which scared me to death of course but she was fine. She worked it out on her own. But YEAHHHHHH for trying something new!
