I Found A Food I Don’t Like

Mom tried to smush up avocado for me last night – ewwww…. here is a video to show you what I thought of it.

Oatmeal and Carrots

Amelia — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:05:59 +0000

Mom has started to feed me oatmeal at night instead of rice cereal, and last night she introduced another fun yummy veggie – carrots! I loved them. I seem to love anything that is food really. I ate a whole 3 Tbsp of oatmeal and half a jar of carrots – I’m really getting the hang of this thing. She says she’ll be posting pictures tonight if I’m a good girl and gives her some free time. This weekend she says she might even let me have a sippy cup and soon I’ll get to have a lunch of fruits or veggies too.

Sweet Potatoes are oh so sweet….

I had sweet potatoes for the first time earlier this week and oh they are so yummy! My favorite food by far – I just kept looking for more. It was also my messiest eating experience so far but I’m actually getting better at opening my mouth – I just still push a lot of the food back out.

Can’t wait to try oatmeal and carrots sometime in the coming week.

First Apples

I had my first apples over the weekend – I think I like them… I’ve definitely come to look forward to my solids at night – after I finish my bottle I start looking around for what’s to come. I only eat about half a bottle at a time but I’m working up to more. My nonni fed it to me the first time – she’s really good at getting me to eat off a spoon – grandma’s special touch I guess!

Rice Cereal Isn’t Fun

Amelia — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 14:40:23 +0000

Rice cereal is boring. Why does my mom make me try and eat this stuff? Well its food – and I like food so maybe I’ll eat it. I want to hold the spoon – GIVE ME THE SPOON. Okay fine, now I have my own spoon. I’ll try to eat that – wait but it has no food – AND I WANT FOOD. Okay yeah, dad is feeding me again. Whew. Can we go back to the bananas now?

Peas are Green and Messy

Next up for foods turned out to be sweet peas. My mom wasn’t sure if I’d go for them as they aren’t nearly as sweet as the bananas I had come to really like. But you know what? I think I like them because they are fun and messy. I got them everywhere – my bib, my highchair and all over my mouth. The little bit that stayed in my mouth was actually not bad – I ate more than mom thought I would for sure. Partway through I decided to suck the peas off my fingers and I started reaching for the spoon – I think I might be able to feed myself. It doesn’t look so hard. Two more nights of peas at least and then I don’t know what my mom will think of next. I hope everyone is having a good week and I can’t wait for the weekend – lots of playtime with mom & dad.

Maybe Bananas Are Okay

Amelia — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 15:08:16 +0000

Well third night is a charm – my mom gave me bananas again and I actually liked them. I could get used to this eating solid foods thing. Bananas again tonight and then I think she mentioned cereal for tomorrow. I’m hoping for oatmeal!

Not So Sure I Like Bananas

Amelia — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 13:27:50 +0000

Last night, mom and dad thought it’d be fun to try and give me some smushed up bananas. I’m not sure I liked them though – they were so weird in texture. Once dad got them in my mouth I’d eat them but man, they were all slimy. I think they are going to try them again tonight – maybe they’ll try to make them smoother using a food mill.

I also got to visit the doctor yesterday and found out I’m 16 lbs and just under 25 inches long – I have a big cute belly! I do love to eat. (For reference that puts me in the below 50th percentile in height, yet near 75th in weight. )

Here are some pictures of me trying out bananas for you to enjoy.
