well, i had some moments of bravery this weekend and it was quite the adventure. we tried avocado on friday, which after about 10 minutes she gagged on it. not sure if it was the avocado per se, but something made her gag. she didn't seem to dislike it. then sunday we tried some mashed red potato from my potato salad. the potato went down ok, but she spit up all night afterward, so she either didn't like the potato, or something i ate. i took pictures sunday, though i think her green mouth would have been more interesting. we may try more avocado today, or maybe some banana. the doctor suggested feeding the same thing a few days in a row, but i can't seem to be able to commit to that. maybe i should.
we got a sippy cup too, but i'm not sure that's going all that well. it has handles and a soft spout, so the design is an ideal transition from the bottle. i put some water into it and gave it to nissa. i helped her out and she got the mechanics of it, but when that water got in her mouth, she made the most disgusted face. i assumed it may be a disappointment with the water, so i tried some breastmilk yesterday. she made a comparable (though less intense) face. i tried a sip myself and it tasted like bile. . . completely grossed me out. i'm not sure what's going on there, but i spilled it out. i'll keep trying the water once in a while, i think. i tried offering her my water bottle, but that just meant the whole top of the bottle being in her mouth and water pouring down the front of her. i tried with a shot glass, but while she didn't make the disgusted face like with the sippy, she didn't get much swallowed- which is the goal.
