Heheh STILL havent here.  Thats more than a bit odd for me.  Probably load up
Tuesday or so.

That sucks but it's happening everywhere.  Hope they have a fixed loan.  If
not, they need to shift.  The variable type never work IMHO.

Humm, need to think on that one.  My Mom has had both problems and she eats
the more average stuff.  If it helps, she's had it all her life and is a hale
78 right now.

Kids vary.  I note chow hounds at the Wellers are the normal thing.

Naw, by then she was far past that and leaped overnight to 'real food' but
cut small.  We did not however press food of the solid sort at all, she just
started grabbing off our plates and we let her in those early stages.

I recall 9 months as when she was eating solids reliably of all types if she
could chew them.  In mind is she was bottle fed which may make a difference
(my C-section caused infection and they had to put me on meds that prevented
breast feeding after a week).

Well, Charlotte rolled til about 8 months, crawled 2 weeks, started to walk,
and was definately *running* by 9 months. Yet we were worried as she didnt
talk til well after 2.  Kid was starting to potty train before she talked!

She was slow to potty train but that's because the 'golden moment' hit
literally the week we had to drive from San Diego to Norfolk and so wasnt
taken up til a bit later again.  Wee bit later than most girls but happened
in 2 days when she decided it was time.

Well, havdnt done the local food kitchen that much this past year but we did
donate canned things to several directions.  Even Don's local watering hole
(bar) had one and we sent 2 canned hams, 2 cans (large, suitable for a family
of 6-8) of beef stew, and some canned chicken stew plus sundry canned veggies
and such.
