Twins:
yes ar....long time didn't chat with you.
I am very happy to hear bb likes to eat as it's not the case for Camille.
Sometimes we will eat with Camille on the same table. She likes to eat rice/pasta/udon but not the meat/tofu/veggie (if mixed with meat). She will eat the vegetables when I put it separately on another bowl. hehe...I'm thinking if Camille is a vegetarian.
At this stage, I will let her feed herself in the first half of the meal and I will feed her the rest so as to make sure she got all the nutritional food. I think a family meal idea is quite good as she can learn the table manner too.
BTW, are you letting 慈慈 try to use a spoon? Right now I just let Camille use her hand to grasp the food.
