Liz - how cute that he uses signs! I thought about getting the book and trying a few. In fact, I printed out the sheet they have on the internet that's kind of an intro to the book, but I haven't gotten around to buying the book! Atm Lucy is pretty good at communicating by pointing, etc, so maybe I'll give up and be slack Mum!
I feed Lucy our leftover pasta, cut up a bit so it fits on her small spoon, but if it were still in bigger pieces she'd just pick it up. She picks up what's there and shovels it into her mouth by the handful anyway... Anything that's a bit slippery takes a bit more concentration, but she gets there in the end. She even tries picking up handfuls of mushy weetbix but manages to get it everywhere in the process! Grapes and cherries are the funniest. She can now put a grape into her mouth and sits and chews on it until there's only skin, which she either spits out or swallows, but she's also taken to shoving in a second grape before the first is finished! Same with cherries, although I take the pips out first. I guess 'cause she's used to handling slippery small fruit she's not too bad with everything else.
Lucy is the same with wanting whatever I eat. And yes, I am eating much healthier as a result too! Lucy tried salmon and liked it too, but then, there isn't much Lucy won't eat.
Oooo, fingers crossed for you next cycle. It took you a while to conceive with Tallon didn't it? Here's hoping this time is completely different!! Are we thinking blue or pink thoughts, or not bothered? Sending you all of my babydust, since I have no use for it atm!!
