Paxton likes to eat, eat, eat...apples and bananas

It had been three days since Paxton had tried his first bite of solid food. Susanne wanted to add in a new food today since he had been doing so well with the bananas. She decided to give him a taste of apples for the first time. It was actually a big hit. He seemed to enjoy them more than the bananas. It was still an extremely slow process. Susanne was only able to get to swallow about a teaspoon of the food. She would offer him a very small spoonful that he would hold in his mouth for minutes at a time before he was forced to swallow it. She knew that they had a long road ahead of them, but she knew that practice makes perfect. She just hoped she was right.

All day Susanne got stuck singing the "Apples and Bananas" song to Paxton. He seemed to enjoy the sheer silliness that came out of her mouth.

I like to eat, eat, eat apples and bananas
I like to eat, eat, eat apples and bananas

I like to ate, ate, ate ay-ples and ba-nay-nays
I like to ate, ate, ate ay-ples and ba-nay-nays

I like to eat, eat, eat ee-ples and bee-nee-nees
I like to eat, eat, eat ee-ples and bee-nee-nees

I like to ite, ite, ite i-ples and by-ny-nys
I like to ite, ite, ite i-ples and by-ny-nys

I like to ote, ote, ote oh-ples and bo-no-nos
I like to ote, ote, ote oh-ples and bo-no-nos

I like to oot, oot, oot oo-ples and boo-noo-noos
I like to oot, oot, oot oo-ples and boo-noo-noos

:)

That's so exciting that Paxton is doing well with some solid food. Your silly song is very sweet.
