Eating...

Lorelei is a pretty good eater. She pretty much eats everything we give her and she eats it in rather large amounts too... I mean, you could give her a banana, a pear and a tangarine and she'd eat them all. She loves bread too and of course her cereal. We fed her all her food for quite some time, but now we are gradually getting her into eating some of the stuff herself.

The first step was taken by having her eat pieces of bread and pieces of fruit by herself. Granted, she is not using utensils yet, she is doing quite a good job actually. She used to toss stuff around and it would end up on the floor and all over her clothes, but now you can put a plate in front of her and she'll pick up the pieces and put them in her mouth one by one and quite neatly. She does get stuff on her hands and face, but she will also finish her plate in seemingly no time at all.

At dinner time she'll just eat what we eat, and like I said, quite a lot of it. And if you think that satisfies her? Well, I guess it does, but not enough. She knows exactly where the bananas are, and she'll start pointing and saying "dis dis". We know that means she wants one of those :-). If I would have to guess what her favorite food is these days I would say: bananas... :-).

Oh, did I mention she can be quite cute when she eats by herself...
