polly wants a cracker

Dorothy has begun hungrily looking at my food and attempting to grab it. She cries when the food goes by her on my lap, on the way to my mouth, if she doesn't get a taste. She can sit upright for a little while, having more trouble with balance than strength.

All that means, teeth or no, she's ready to eat (sob!)

Mmm, soda cracker. Nutritious? Not really. But it's fun, and the texture is crisp then dissolves quickly, and sweetens a bit as the salivary enzymes go to it. She liked it!
