First of all, just wanted to say again how much fun having dinner was last week! It was so nice to meet you IRL!
Secondly, I wanted to share that we tried grated apple today, like you suggested. Huge, HUGE hit! He was so happy grabbing pinch-fuls and stuffing them in his mouth (and dropping them everywhere, too, of course!). It was great for him to practice both the pincher grasp and chewing motions. I can't wait to try it with carrots, too!

Hooray! That's awesome Leah....it's fun to see them try new tastes and textures. "Grated apple? Sorta tastes like that applesauce I've been eating....yum! Nom, nom, nom!" With Libby I'll sometimes make a little "salad" of grated apple, grated carrot, raisin and some shredded cheese. She likes the mix of flavors and textures.
And I really appreciate your taking time from your busy week to come downtown and meet me. It was a welcome respite from dinner everynight with colleagues. I am SO hooked on Chicago and have told J we need to go back for a fun weekend away! If and when we do, I'll be calling on you to help us come up with a great itinerary...so we're not trapped in tourist-land! Maybe we can GTG with the guys...Jaime and Brent had breakfast with us when we were in Dallas in '09 and it was fun and the first time J ever came to a GTG. He thought it was so cool that I have friends from all over because of TK/TN/TB.
And well, if you EVER find yourself in Tulsa...let me know!
