Food Phases

The last time I wrote about Lyla's eating habits, she was sitting in the tub. It seems like we are willing to do almost anything to get this kid to eat! She seems to switch what she wants to do on a daily basis. A week or so ago she was enjoying her pureed baby food and would not touch any textured foods. Then out of the blue she tried a "puff" and her eating habits took a u-turn... I think there were even two days when she would eat nothing but puffs...
She finally tried out the Mum Mum's we bought her...(which she now won't touch.) Maybe she thinks to herself "Been there, done that, whats next?"

We tried serving her first pancake to her on Valentine's day. They were Banana Cinnamon and totally delicious. She wanted nothing to do with it and would only open up for her puffs.

We found out one evening that all she wanted to do was feed herself. She scooped up a few of her sweet potatoes and some of her applesauce some of it actually making it into her mouth. She, and the kitchen floor, were a total mess but at least we had some fun.

Today she woke up and decided that she would eat everything! She downed a whole serving of peach rice pudding and almost an entire jar of peas (her first veggie in weeks!) she also ate her cereal like a champ and of course her latest fav: HappyBaby puffs.
