Rory Update #19

If you watched the film we posted last month, you noticed that Rory was a finicky eater.

Well, yesterday that changed. She likes to feed herself, so Colleen cuts up chunks of stuff (squash, banana, pear, sweet potato) NO BIGGER THAN HER FINGERNAIL!!!!, and Rory goes nuts for it (most of the time).

She does not have the dexterity of being able to grab, put in mouth and chew -- rather she scoops lots, starts sucking her hand, and every once in a while a chunk or two DOES NOT fall to the floor/into her pants/the back of her hand.

She does tend to ACT SUPRISED when anything like food enters her mouth, though -- she'll startle for a bit, then she crushes whatever it is with her iron jaw, two teeth and gums... and eventually it makes it way to the belly.

Its quite funny to watch her eat.
