Here's Some BLW for your eating enjoyment

It's nap time, so I'm taking a quick chance to hop on the 'puter, and put something useful up here. Stefan seems to have refined his pincher grasp and with that, getting foods into his mouth has also come along. I'm still shocked that he's actually consuming these solids, since it looks like nothing is going in, but rest assured, It's coming out. He's still consistently fickle, at 10 months, and really only eats tomato based sauces and curries without fail...oh and Squash with bacon soup was a total success. His tongue moves the solids (non-purees) around his mouth, and usually pushes most out. The cool thing with BLW is that merely doing that is enough to consider a meal a success. He has practice taking in different textures and flavors of different temperature, manipulating them in his mouth,  and works on what I consider desensitizing his gag reflex (which once rejected even the smallest bit of food), and maybe swallows something!

So my Saturday was a total bust. What should have been a fall day of outside yard fun and a hay ride turned into back tracking my whole morning in Thomaston and Torrington in hopes of finding my credit card, which fell out of my pocket. Anyway, all I succeeded in was wearing myself out and making my cold worse and not getting anything really productive done. So I'll cut this short, as I want to catch up on some important, top secret stuff, and some rest to get rid of the illness that plagues my body.
