Good old green veggies — still super healthy and necessary, yet still the bane of Isaac’s existence. I continue to offer him all sorts of the good stuff, and eat it myself in front of him, but to no avail. The closest thing I have gotten to a victory would be him eating half a snap pea pod dipped in dressing and several freeze dried peas…pretty pathetic (:
I for one love vegetables, especially the green kind because I know their many benefits, whereas I guess my toddler is not that interested in the different vitamins and minerals and maintaining a healthy weight like his mother.

At our last doctor’s appointment for Ben, our pediatrician told us to go ahead and start Ben on baby food. He’s at the very low end of normal on the height and weight scale – still normal, but apparently he’s small for his age. Incredibly though, the kid just would not stop eating. He would eat 8oz of formula every two hours, if not more often. So Dr. Max decided that it would be a good idea to start him on rice cereal and gradually work our way up to other foods.
Me, I was excited. My husband? He couldn’t understand what I was excited …
Enjoying some watermelon
It’s been well established that Joshua likes to eat. And I mean really, really likes to eat. I don’t think he’s yet to meet a food he didn’t like. This doesn’t mean that everything is his favorite food, but he will eat just about everything.
The problem with this, though, is that Joshua remains the Toothless Wonder. Yes, Joshua is now over eleven months old, and no, he doesn’t have a single tooth yet. There are not even bumps indicating that teeth are coming soon. Before anyone gets concerned and calls in the pediatric dentist, this is actually quite normal for our crowd. I didn’t get …
One of the few healthy things she still likes
Why? Why must the palates of babies change so often? So often and SO dramatically. Saioa is one year old now and she has gone through so many food stages it’s not even funny. The best stage was when food was first introduced to her and she gobbled up anything that I put before her.
Those were the days. Pureed peas, mashed sweet potato, butternut squash, steamed apples…… she loved every bit of it and ate with extreme gusto. Then she grew some teeth so we started giving her table food. Boy was that a mistake! Once she got a …
Maeve has a tooth! It broke the skin a couple weeks ago and is slowly making its way out. I think its mate, the other bottom-front tooth, is right under the skin and will soon make a debut appearance as well. It’s about that time in Maeve’s life when she begins to eat more baby food. When I say more, I mean more types of food and larger quantities, too, yet she remains relatively uninterested in any food at all. When dinner time rolls around, Maeve sits in her high chair. She’s moderately excited to eat, takes a bite or two of what little baby food I provide for her, and …
I prefer you not have that
Our nickname for Saioa is lunchbox. She will eat anything you put in front of her and she demands that you give her whatever you are eating as well. She’s made it clear that she will not tolerate baby food anymore. As soon as she sees me opening the jar she starts turning her head and fussing. I don’t think I’ve necessarily spoiled her, but she’s had a taste of real food and now that’s all she wants. So for the most part I make her baby food, which is SO easy with our awesome immersion blender. We had that thing for …
