Nathalie came over yesterday bearing gardenias (how I do love that woman!) and I hijacked her into a trip to the baby food aisle at Safeway. She talked me into trying the meat in a bottle. Even after eating some last night I am still hesitant, but with some salt and pepper I got about 1/3 bottle down. It also turns out I like things with banana in them. Something I NEVER knew. Maybe because it’s real banana? I really dislike banana FLAVORED things.
This morning, strained some cream of wheat through the bands and braces. I can open my mouth wide enough for an itty bitty baby spoon with just a dab of goop. Lovely, lovely goop.
Baby twosies sweet potatoes rock. Pudding cups are a tad thick for me still. And I LOVE my water pick. I would not be subjecting my braces to life as a strainer if I didn’t know I could blast things out of my mouth like the dentist I am glad I’m not.
I’m very very tired. I think I rival the cats in number of hours logged asleep. I wasn’t eating enough (by half or more) to heal all this bone trauma stuff, so I think getting food in the house I actually want to taste is going to be very good for me.
Also got a can of my friend Jennifer’s Chocolate Gravy. Named after her grandpa Red, “Red’s Chocolate Gravy” is supposed to be a Texas treat. Well, I’m all about gravy substance these days, so I’m predicting a west coast treat migration.
cheers!
