Buford the Snake
Olivia has a rubber snake that we named Buford. Buford has come in handy on the eating front, because Olivia is often happy to have Buford taste a food that she's not sure about. She offers it to the snake, and then, without much thought, tosses the food in her own mouth.
The we ask, "Does Buford like it?
And she responds, "Buford, nahlana, likes it! Ay-yah likes it!" (Olivia likes it.) and then pops a few more bites in her own mouth.
Thank god for Buford.
Even without Buford's help, Olivia appetite continues to grow. she'll actually site down and eat fairly large portions of one or two foods out of the six we offer her. We continuously offer this kid a buffet of options and her tastes still skew to the foods that cost more than $10 per pound. She is her father's daughter.
