Prunes

Have you guys ever seen that email forward that talks about how certain fruits and vegetables look like different body organs, coincidentally enough, the ones that they help? I think they call it the "Nature of God's Pharmacy". A sliced carrot looks like the human eye, a tomato has 4 chambers and is red like the heart, walnuts look like brains, kidney beans (self-explanatory), etc. Here's a link to it all.

That said, they don't list prunes. However, from recent (30 minutes) experience, I can tell you that pureed prunes look very similar to what it is intended to make you do. For my sweet girl's sake, I sure hope they do their intended purpose. I believe some very yummy apples have clogged the pipelines and it's not to comforting to watch. Shockingly, she loved the prunes, like kept licking the spoon clean liked.

On the eating note, Kaylynn finally figured out how to eat (really eat) food. I thought she did a while ago, but she is a champ now. Everything I said she didn't like, because she spit it out, she gobbles up. So far we've had:

Sweet Potatoes
Green Beans
Green Peas
Carrots
Parsnips (combined with carrots)
Apples
Pears
Plums
Prunes
Peaches
Zucchini
Squash
Mangoes

I've got cantelope, cauliflower, blueberries, acorn squash, and butternut squash in the hanger, waiting for her to try. If previous eatings are any indication, I think she'll love them. I've been contemplating trying some meat purees soon...we'll see. Have I mentioned that I love making her food? I do. Honestly. It's one of my favorite things to do.

All systems go. :) It was a painful day for sweet girl. p
