This thread reminds me of a story from when my daughter was 6 mos old
(weighing 21 pounds on exclusive breastmilk). We were riding in our van
during a cross-country move when she reached sideways out of her car seat,
grabbed her big brother's apple, and started gnawing on it. She had no teeth
yet, and I worried about the skin, big chunks choking her, etc. I tried to
pry it away so I could remove the skin, but she acted as if it was the last
food on earth and howled/screeched in protest. Methinks: Ok, Ok - we're
gonna be stuck together in this van for another three days, so let's
compromise. [As if one can compromise with a 6-month old smart kid.] I let
her keep it but watched her like a hawk. She happily gummed it to death over
the next 100 miles.
