More on eating...
From Mike: Amelia's appetite is starting to return to normal. But to feed her, she has to be well entertained.
Last night I gave her the baby utensil she likes to play with when eating. Well, she twisted, turned, chewed on it for awhile then she was done with it and bored again. So she slammed it on her tray and grabbed the spoon I was using to feed her dinner. She is getting stronger and better coordinated - if she wants the spoon, she won't let go. So I let her have it and started feeding her with this baby utensil thing instead. She accepted that.
But when I tried to take the spoon away, all hell broke loose. She screamed and screamed as though her arm was still attached to the spoon I took away from her. To make a long story short, we went through three spoons and one baby utensil on that meal...
