Amelia has started to go to town on feeding herself solids.... just in time. I've been getting frustrated with the whole experience of feeding her lately, it has just seemed to be one more thing to have to struggle with between her wanting to grab the spoon, objecting to anything not applesauce, and smearing food all over her face. Awesome.
On Sunday night dinner, I made the usual Roast Chicken (which makes the house smell soooo good and is super moist). As we sat and ate dinner, she was not all that excited about jar du jour so I gave her a little chicken - and it was gone. I gave her some peas, and they were gone - and of course the cheerios and blueberries disappeared! With that, I am now focusing on trying to give her some food that she can feed herself, along with the pureed mush. Last night she mostly ate a full dinner of turkey burger, baked potatoes, cooked carrots, and then more blueberries and cheerios. She happily sat in her high chair for about 45 minutes as she ate, mumbled delightfully to herself, and occasionally dropped things on the floor. I am so proud of my little Bug who is turning into quite the eater! (And I love to not have to feed her...)
