Mommy and daddy laugh that sometimes I start chewing for no apparent reason. I do this in my sleep, I do it before and after eating, I do it when I play -- and clearly I'm not actually chewing on anything, since I'm not on any solids; I just like to chew.
Mommy and daddy joke that I'm chewing an imaginary steak. Little do they know I'm ready for solids and they just don't know it yet! They're still saying I have to wait until I'm a year old to have solids. FINE. In the meantime, I'll lunge for daddy's apple when he offers it. Maybe that will give them the nudge they so clearly need!
