Introduction to Solids is not a course in math or physics. It is all about the transition from an infant's liquid diet to a child's messy diet. "Gigi" is expanding her palate almost daily. She eats rice cereal or oatmeal mixed with Mommy Juice, as well as sweet potatoes, carrots, and bananas. She did not like peas, and let us know without ambiguity. It was not pretty (except in a Jackson Pollock kind of way, I suppose, if you're into that).
Today, we took her to a Salvadoran place and offered her plantains and yucca. Neither was to her liking, but she wasn't nearly as demonstrative about it. Well, at least we tried.
In other developments: still no teeth, still no actual crawling. She is working hard at both. Place your bets on which will be first, or on which food will be the next one she rejects.
