Eating a lot

Some people call me chubby, and perhaps I am or a bit more. I am still learning to eat, but I am eating a lot more already. Today I have surprised my papa at breakfast: I ate two slices of bread! Not just part of one. I eat bread with soft cheese or soft meat spread. Mmmm, yummie!

I like putting the bread in my mouth myself. I pick it up, put it in my mouth, take it out again, put it in deeper. I put my whole hand in my mouth, just to be sure I've got it all.

When I am very hungry I put it in two pieces at a time. My mama can't give it to me fast enough! I asked her if she would give me all the bread pieces, but she said No: you will swipe them all on the floor when you move your arms. A pity, now I have to wait until she gives each piece.

Around eleven o'clock I get fruit. I love banana, mango, pear. It is winter now, so we don't have a lot of choice, but between these I am getting plenty.

Yesterday I was very surprised. My mama gave me part of her dinner food: I got a piece of the brussel sprouts that she was eating. Not mushed, but as a piece. That is such good fun: eating with your hands. Today we had beetroot. You see how I put that in my mouth?

Not everyday I eat as much as this evening: that is because I am still learning. After dinner I get my milk bottle; hungry I am not.
