Lilly loves the baby Mum-Mums crackers. Essentially its a rice cake, but she loves eating them, gnawing on them. You break open a package and show her one and she gets all excited. Mark calls them 'baby crack' At first I was nervous about them, I wasn't sure how she was going to be able to swallow her bites without choking. That is until I tried one myself, not a full one, just a bite, so I could see how it dissolved in her mouth. And it does, quite well, as soon as it goes in and makes contact with the salivary glands, the cracker dissipates. So while I am still quite vigilant during her eating of them, the anxiety has gone down. She's doing well on her solids as well. She enjoys peas and prunes, though not necessarily together. Chicken and turkey are good as well. Peaches, sweet potatoes and apple sauce are fine as well. I do wonder if she tires of having the same foods over and over again. But every time we put food in her mouth she makes a face, like she can't believe she's eating this and then I guess she remembers she likes whatever she's having and eats it all up!
