But today we went blueberry picking, and she was doing the total "one for the bucket, one for my mouth" thing, then she got home and had about four more bowls. Her grandmother was super thrilled, since we'd all spent quite some time being tense about Amelia's appetite, and seeing how great she's doing is a relief to all of us.
Oh, and grandma (aka Lela) made Amelia a special allergy-free cake today, too. I tend to be very anxious when Lela cooks for Amelia, because she is one of those casual cooks who throws in a dash of this, splash of that, and she never, ever ever reads labels. She and I have had some slightly awkward moments around Amelia's food allergies but it's just one of those things I've held firm on. Anyway, total credit is due to Lela, because she's really working hard on this. She found a zucchini cake recipe, and read all the ingredients to me. Other than eggs, it was all totally safe for Amelia (flour, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, zucchini, oil). So we gave Lela our box of Ener-G Egg Replacer, and she made the cake. It was really, really good. Amelia had a few bites and seemed to enjoy it. She was definitely cautious about it but for a first time with a new food, she did great. Uh, the bad news is that the rest of us devoured like 1/2 the pan. My baby weight isn't going anywhere, I am sorry to report.
