Well unlike Rudi's hatred of two way streets, Reagan's hatred of food is slowing starting to subside. What we had to start doing was shoveling food into her mouth, then quickly put the pacifier in, which prevented her from spitting the food out and helped her make the swallowing motion. We did this for a few days and then miraculously, she started eating like a champ. Reagan now eats a container of baby food twice a day, her favorites so far are sweet potatoes and peaches.
Reagan is also able to feed herself. She loves "puffers", especially the sweet potato ones. It is great because now during our dinner time, instead of having to sit on our laps grabbing at our plates, she will sit in the highchair and eat puffs. Not to brag of anything, but a pediatrician I was talking to told me that feeding yourself is a 9 month milestone, so Reagan is very advanced.

Beth's thumb nail in the close up pix looks painful. Ouch!
What a good idea with the pacifier (or pluggie, as we call it...)
Rudi likes to use something called a pluggie.
