Plugging Along

Which of those should I pick first?

Well, this looks good...

Hmmm, not sure about this asparagus stuff after all

Well, maybe dinner was pretty delicious after all!

Well, luckily we have managed to get rid of the 2-spoon technique (but still keep it in the back pocket, just in case!) and Sophia is still eating...hooray! It can be hard to remember to take 3 spoons with you every time you leave the house!



I figured out that if she has something to eat with her hands, as opposed to just shoving a sad and empty spoon into her mouth, she is quite contented to open her mouth to the various spoonfuls of veggies that I give her.



Her old favorites still include Goldfish, Cheerios, and Puffs, which incidentally is all she ate for lunch today but nonetheless, we have expanded to other foods like turkey sausage, pork sausage, deli meat (just so-so) and little ham chunks. She also loves cheese cubes and just started eating cherries and grapes. She prefers the red grapes to the green, but will eat both if they're on her tray. She has also started to eat veggies with her hands, where as before she would just throw them on the floor and seek out the crunchies.



Whew! In just over a week we've come very far! Last night was also monumental because her dinner was almost the exact same as ours...hooray! She ate quite a bit of meatloaf, asparagus, and grapes (which we had as part of a salad, but she's not there yet), with some cheese and Cheerios thrown in, and she ate everything by herself!
