After twelve days of eating no more than a tiny bite or two a day (while sick with a cold), Evanna decided she wanted to take the biggest bites she's ever taken. Most she chewed and swallowed. Some she spit back out but then continued eating. The biggest accomplishment was using her tongue to dislodge a piece of flour tortilla stuck to the back of her upper, front teeth without freaking out or gagging. In the middle of it all, she was being her usual silly self. Yesterday was a banner day!
Today, she ate several good sized bites of pizza and several more smaller ones. She also drank several sips of chocolate milk using a sippy cup with no stopper. We remove the stopper because she doesn't know how to suck, but today she clearly figured out out too.
It's only been two good days of eating but it's a step in the right direction.
