Pebbles

You may remember the post about the butternut squash episode. Basically feeding Abigail anything started to go that way. She wouldn’t eat chicken and she wouldn’t eat egg. Until tonight.

Yeah. That’s a chicken bone she’s gnawing on. Tonight she ate chicken, broccoli Rabe (i.e. Rapini), a couple hunks of garlic and corn.

The difference?

It was all from the table and it was all what we were eating.

Broccoli Rabe! She ate freaking broccoli Rabe. That stuff’s nasty! Not only did she eat it, but opened her mouth for more!

I’d like to think it has something to do with the fact that she now understands praise. When she does something cool or good, we clap our hands and say Yay Abigail! She gets a big smile on her face and tries for more.

Unfortunately she was eating the rapini before I started cheering for her.  She’s like her mother. She just likes it.

The bone gnawing thing is also like her mother.

And the rolls in her belly are probably from me.
