• 
  
  Favorite snacks: honey wheat pretzels, goldfish, nutrigrain bars, yogurt melts, yogurt (yoplait and yobaby), crackers (graham, saltines, etc), bananas, and apples.

  Breakfast: blueberry smoothies, waffles, toast with butter and honey, french toast, bananas, yogurt, baby food.
• 
  
  Lunch/Dinner: baby food (squash, sweet potato, sweet potato and corn, banana, bananas mixed with anything, peaches. Teeny bits of what we're having... as long as it passes your VERY critical inspection (before you put ANYTHING into you mouth you look at it intently to decide if you're willing to try it and promptly spit it out if you decide it's not the right taste or texture).
• 
  
  Favorite drinks: apple juice, chocolate milk and water only if it's out of mom's water bottle.
• 
  
  A lot of times when you are eating chicken or apples you spit it out after you are done chewing it... you have a difficult time getting past swallowing solid items that aren't soft and dissolve.
• 
  
  Words you say: mama, dada/daddy, dog, ball, uh oh, yucky, hi, bye, big bird ("bi bur") + lots of grunting and pointing to what you want. Your favorite word is ball... you get so excited whenever you see any type of ball and will point to it and repeat it over and over.
• 
  
  You point to and understand the words for head, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, toes, socks, shoes, pants, hat, elmo, grover, book, apple, banana, yogurt, toothbrush, sun, cat, bear, fire, different types of balls (basketball, football, soccer ball, baseball)... I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them at the moment.
