Oh boy, table food!

 Holly is most definitely our growing little girl.  She's eating more and more table food (or what we've termed "big people" food).  A couple of nights ago she had about 1/4 cup of scrambled eggs, 3/4 of a slice of bread and a 1/4 of a banana.  Last night she ate almost a whole filet of tilapia, maybe an 1/8 cup of peas and 3/4 slice of bread.  She's definitely a bread girl, because she was eating bits of my hot dog bun tonight.

In addition to eating "big people" food, she's drinking out of a regular cup (we're foregoing sippy cups) fairly well.  She'll still get her bib or the front of her shirt wet when she lets it dribble down her chin or if she spits it out, but she's practicing at each meal with us and she's doing beautifully!  Pat and I are so grateful for this little munchkin because she has yet to reject any food we've offered her (did I mention she's also tried bacon?) with the exception of corn.  She didn't reject the corn when we fed it to her, but it did give her some uncomfortable gas when she was four months old.  We're waiting a little longer before we try again, to give her body more time to adjust.

And, of course, it's not dinner without a show.  If you listen carefully, you might be able to hear Pat towards the end of the video commenting on his performance (or the result of it).
