We here at Baby Yarnoz have slowly been advancing the Pizz's dinner time menu. It started in December with rice cereal. The Pizz had now idea what this solid schmutz was on her tongue, but it definitely wasn't the Sauce! She would push it out with her tongue and cry like the dickens!!! But this didn't last long... the DQ's perseverance paid off, and the Pizz began eating like a champ.
Rice cereal turned into oatmeal. Then there were peas... and carrots... and squash... and sweet potatoes... and bananas... and apples... and pears.... you get the picture. The most recent addition was mango just the other day.
The Pizz eats it all down like a champ! In fact, practically the only time the Pizz cries these days is when you are not feeding her fast enough. Seriously. Dinner time is now a stressful endeavor. As soon as you put her in the highchair, you better be ready to feed. She inhales it. You sit there feverishly shovelling it in her mouth, just to keep her quiet! Next thing you know, the food is gone... she is full ... and you are spent..... collapse in a sweaty heap!
Now this lovely change in our daughter's eating habits has produced a not so lovely change in the after effects!!!! What goes in....
Must... come.... out!!!
It has been an eye, and nostril, opening experience!!!! All the colors of the rainbow go in, travel through the small innerds of the Pizz, and wind up in the diapers. Whhhhhhhhhhhhewww! It's amazingly odoriferous! No more Tapioca for Daddy... Now the new foods just pass right through... Some (sweet potatoes) don't even look like get digested. (The first time I changed her diapers after some sweet potatoes, I though the DQ was playing a joke on me and just scooped some directly into her drawers... nope)
During all of this, the Pizz is still passing out cuteness... and some giggles too. It is almost like she knows the stink she created and is laughing at us.
