An apple fell out of the fridge today and rolled across the floor. Connor pointed and said "ball", of course, and I told him it was actually an apple. To which he responded "ap", picked it up, and took a bite. I was completely shocked as I watched him walk around eating this apple for the next 15 minutes - just taking little bites whenever he pleased, and finishing about a quarter of it. He was so proud of himself! Of course I was paranoid about him choking (he normally gets his harder foods cut into pea-sized pieces), but I kept a close eye on him and he did amazingly well. We'll try it again - although I will peel the next one, which I think will help with some of my paranoia.
