Well, today it finally occurred to Blake that he could actually make friends with the dog by way of her stomach. Now, don't get me wrong, he has been feeing her all along unknowingly. She sits right under his highchair every time we put him in it. But today was different.
Blake was in his chair and he was eating some turkey for lunch. He looked over the side of the chair and saw Lila and then he picked up a piece of turkey and dropped it right over the side of the chair. I almost thought this wasn't a purposeful act until later this afternoon, I fed him some small bits of orange and he didn't like them. He sticks his tongue out really far to get the food off. One piece fell to the floor and I thought to myself "oh, he just wants to feed himself." So I went back to the counter to get another piece and the first piece was gone. I figured he just picked it up and ate it (I forgot to mention he was on the floor). So I put another piece in his mouth and again he stuck his tongue out as far as he could to get rid of the orange and once it hit the floor, he picked it up and held his hand out to Lila to give her the orange. I assume that is also where the first piece went. He finally figured it out.
Maybe she'll be nicer to him now, either that or she'll just be a mean dog that weighs too much!
