Blaize experiments with "product" VIDEO: 45 seconds

Blaize combines eating with Adriana and styling his hair - himself. He uses an experimental "product" - also know as banana. The results are captured in this 45 second video.

Not captured in this video but of note, Blaize sometimes uses an ASL sign for "milk" and "all done." He does not consistently use these signs but it's recognizable in the context of stop force feeding me.

Francesca fed the chickens a cracker!

Blaize enjoys the play stove at cafe au play

He is standing more and more- such a strong boy!
