Ellie feeding herself [VIDEO]

In the past few weeks, Ellie has taken to feeding herself, and does a good job at it. She can feed herself hand-held food, biting off what she needs (though she often bites off more than she can chew, literally) and she can also feed herself from a spoon or fork, though for now, Martina and me are still the ones putting the food on the fork/spoon.

In the picture, Ellie is chowing down on her lunch of garlic kale, sweet potato and black quinoa. Score!

Ellie’s first taste of apple [VIDEO]

We’ve started slowing introducing Ellie to some solid foods now, and it’s quite funny watching her reaction to different flavours. Judging by her lunge and grabbing, I’d say she’s quite keen on apples. Continue reading “Ellie’s first taste of apple [VIDEO]”
