She is also pulling herself up onto everything and cruising along and is able to let go and stand alone for about 20-30 seconds. I am not ready to be the mother of a walking child-though it is very, very exciting!
Update on the food situation...For the most part, Lexi would not eat any kind of jarred baby food almost immediately after my first post about trying out different brands. So what I did was do a sort of modified baby led weaning. I would give her regular table food so she could experiment with textures and whatnot, but I would also feed her pieces so she could really get the idea of getting the food into her mouth, chew it, and swallow. Now, at just about nine months old, she eats pretty much anything we have for meals and as long as she's in the right mood, she'll get majority of the food and drop a little bit.
