Drinking water, chunky foods, Passover, etc.

Once or twice a day, I let Gabe drink a few ounces of water a day. Here are two photos. He holds the cup very well himself and seems to get the idea that he has to tilt it up for the liquid to come down. He likes doing this very much; when I get the cup out to pour water in it, he sits forward to opens his mouth; it's really cute.

A few days ago, I tried giving him a few pieces of banana to eat himself and he just played with it! :) He eats thicker foods consistently now, though the only chunkier foods he will eat are chunky apple sauce. About a week or two ago, we tried giving him some chunky chicken with little pasta stars and he gagged himself to much that he threw up. That was surprising, but he was totally fine afterward.

The easter holiday is coming up fast. It seems March came and went really fast. This year we are going to focus more on Passover than easter; I've been reading about the pagan origins of easter and it disturbed me quite a bit. Sometimes I think I read too much for my own good.
