I used to say Robert will eat just about anything... except bananas.
Now... he eats just about anything!
For the longest time, he reacted to bananas like we were trying to kill him. The Florida grandparents and aunt/uncle can attest to that first hand. But he seemed interested in my banana yesterday, so I held it out to him and he took a bite. Then he started doing his, "ma... ma... ma..." routine (which we still don't know if it means "more" or if, like I think, anything food is mama, and anything fun is dada). So I let him take another bite... and another. He ate half my banana! So I got smart and brought him his own (small) banana with lunch. I broke it into 3 pieces length wise and gave him a piece at a time - and he ate the WHOLE thing!
He also ate some of my grouper for dinner. Which makes me think he probably just didn't like the way the salmon was prepared the time we tried it with him. We'll have salmon again soon - we just got some more on Monday. We'll try again and see what happens!
He has figured out how to get up on the couch by himself. He usually runs back and forth on it, but occasionally sits down for a little rest...
