Guess who's coming to dinner?

Riley, of course! Last night was the first time in which all three of us sat down together at a meal, and more than that, ate pretty much all the same food! Cam and I had breaded chicken strips with gravy, steamed broccoli, and rice-a-roni, while Riley had plain (boiled) chicken and steamed broccoli.



Instead of mushing all of Riley's food together and feeding it to her as I usually do, we gave her little bite size pieces that she fed herself. Now while she liked and ate both the broccoli and chicken, she most definitely went for the broccoli first every time.





To top off her meal, Riley drank some water, which she loves. Now, she's not too handy with the sippy cups, so we are just teaching her how to drink from a cup. She's doing pretty well with it, and knows what she's supposed to do.



A little later in the evening, while Riley had her final bottle of the day, I needed to clean up after our meal (which fascinated Riley). There were little bits of chicken and broccoli all over the floor! Oh, well. It was totally worth it. :-)
