We have a little foodie on our hands. Lilly Rose enjoys lunch and dinner time so much more now that we've broadened her selections. No longer does our baby girl just enjoy milk, she loves many different foods. We started with rice cereal and peaches (after I consulted with Dr. Baker on fruits vs. veggies and there is no evidence to back up the "bad to begin with a fruit" theory).
Since her first meal was a lunch we gave her rice cereal and peaches. Lilly did not love the peaches but I was curious to know if it was just because it was her first try at food. She made many different faces and the meal ended with tears. So, we tried peaches again this week and she loves them! So far she has enjoyed: rice cereal, peaches, apples, pears, squash, sweet potato and green beans. I'm very proud of my fruit and veggie eating girl. :) Lilly likes to make "mmmmm" noises in between bites and when I ask her if it's good, she replies with a big messy smile. I always thought I'd be the OCD mom that has to wipe her kids face in between each bite but I've come around to the thought of 'who the heck cares'!? I mean really, there's no keeping it clean while feeding this busy baby food. I figure if 90% of it makes it into her tummy, she's happy and I just have a small mess to clean afterwards then it was a successful meal. Who am I!? ;)
Very first taste of food, not sure about it!
Like I said, the peaches ended in tears...
Sweet Potato, she really loved it...
This is serious business, back off Oliver!
Poor Oliver, he has no chance at the moment. I'm sure once she starts dropping her food he'll grow to appreciate meal time...and Lilly will have found herself a new best friend!
