Refining the Palate

Lately, Evvie's been prone to not eating as well as she had been. She's suddenly unwilling to try new things, which is moderately frustrating. A new trick we've learned, though, is to have her watch us take something off the stove and eat it. She's always interested in food that way. I took last nights refused chicken bits and cooked them up is a pan with a it of milk and curry. Now, the food was warm, yellow (her favorite color for food ie:mac & cheese, scrambled eggs, banana bits, etc.) and fresh off the stove. She really strained to get to it after I tried a piece, so lunch today was curried chicken- and a lot of it.

In other news, she's walking all over the place now. No more tentative 4 and 5 step meanders- she's got to travel living room to back bedroom on just two feet now. She's been taking several steps for months now, but finally made the big leap to it being her primamary way of getting around. We've been waiting for her to really make the move to being a walker...she has just been too efficient a crawler to care! Now she's discovered that she can walk with items in both hands unimpeded, though (try that on all fours!)
