mmmmmmm ....

Eden has been feeding herself finger foods for a while now (banannas, green beans, stawberries - not together, of course). Recently, we began letting her try eating with a spoon. While she does NOT like relinquishing control of the spoon to have more food added to it, she has TONS of fun learning how to feed herself - here is the aftermath ...


Some of her favorite foods lately are avacado ...





... strawberries [and her teething "cookie"] ...


Lately, she has enjoyed her food so much that she has wanted to share it with us. We oblige.


Of course, with trying new food not everything hits ... like pickles ... not her favorite. [Sorry, Maren. We thought she might follow in Joshie's footsteps with his love of pickles, but no luck.]


Her absolute favorite finger food is green beans. We recently started giving her whole ones to see how she would handle them. Like a pro! She just gnaws away.



We're always open to new and exciting foods for those of you who can share ideas!

Well, not everyone can be a food gourmet like Josh. :) And, oddly enough, he right now in the kitchen eating a pickle with his sandwich.

Odder still, he doesn't like green beans.

Isn't feeding babies food fun? I love the look on their faces.

Self feeding suggestions:

Steamed asparagus!
Thinly cut apples
Raw zuchinni rounds
Sweet Potato "fries"

My little girl loves veggies.

So cute! I'm definitely going to have try to a pickle...I never thought of that! Bo is going through a horrible stage of not wanting to eat any real veggies, only baby food veggies...got any suggestions for me?
