Zoe likes more foods, but these are some of the good "go to" type foods.. :)

As you can see, Zoe's tastebuds are growing. She's discovered that some things are good dipped in ketchup, likes mustard but is a little leery of trying it as a condiment (she licked it off of something I gave her, and then proceeded to dip her fingers in it!)

She's figuring out how to use a spoon, but has been more successful with a fork (she's figuring out how to pierce things well). AND, Zoe's pretty much stopped trying to use her bowl as a frisbee (food still in it).

She has learned that more than the small piece of food that we cut up can fit in her mouth. We have to watch her to make sure she doesn't over stuff her mouth. She hasn't choked, thankfully, but she'll just open up her mouth and let it drop if she has too much (Ewww!!).

Zoe is also not throwing nearly as much OFF the tray. She's learning that when she decides that she wants to do that, she loses all her "toys", AKA food...

I'll have to do another post at another time describing how Zoe "shares" with Peanut and how she's starting to exert some independence.

Maybe I'll even add one with pictures of Zoe's favorite books. We recently took some more of her board books from upstairs down, and, well, she still sticks to the same few.
