food, fabulous food

woo hoo! i can do it! as of christmas dinner, i'm eating real, solid food! dr. paul was right. he was hopeful that i would grow out of the overactive gag reflex around one year old and sure enough! on christmas i ate ham and green bean casserole and sweet potatoes and everything was so yummy! mom and pop's only problem now -- i only like to eat my "Os" cereal (special kind without wheat - because i'm still allergic), yogurt, meatloaf, banana, and cereal bars. oh, you noticed? no, i don't like veggies anymore. okay, so mom keeps reminding me that i've already been eating veggies for 7 months prior to this...i know, i know, but i've moved on to better things. meatloaf. who doesn't love meatloaf, especially mama's yummy kind! oh, i did eat an orange today. just a few bites. it was really tart, so i haven't decided if i like it or not. oh, i forgot my all time favorites are cheese and black olives. yes, black olives--i tasted them at my last "pizza night" with my friends samuel and olivia. i can't have the crust since it's made with wheat, but boy do i love all the toppings!!

so, christmas was a good day. santa claus came and brought me a super cool elmo that laughs. i didn't like him at first, but now i do. i remembered him from the few times i had to stay home because i was sick and mama let me watch tv. i liked this guy! ha ha! the toy is ridiculous too...i think mom played with it more than i did on christmas! i also got these cool bottles that are travel water bottles. i'll use them later. oh, and i got new a new swim suit for swimming too. i got some other great presents too -- a wiggly giggly ball, a bunch of snoopy stuff from grandmama, a teddy bear from great-grandmama, some books and other stuff from daddy and mama. it was just a really fun day with auntie becky, grandmama and a good, yummy dinner for my first real, solid meal.
