It was a struggle there for a bit. J wasn't interested in eating 'table' food. But pretty much right around his first birthday, the floodgates opened and this boy wanted real food!
Some new favorites:
Pizza
Blueberries
Toast with butter or peanut butter
Peas! (picks those out from the carrots and green beans)
Baked beans
Corn
Feta cheese
Sundried tomato and spinach ravioli (he went mental for these)
Graham crackers
Ice cream
Bread
Pasta
Macaroni and Cheese
Mandarin oranges
Cucumbers
Not so much:
Cream of Wheat
Watermelon
Kiwi
The cupcake from his first birthday (what?!)
He's also doing really well with the milk. Except that he likes to spit it out while using the sippy cup because he thinks it's funny.
We were told at his 12 month check up that he needs to put on some weight so we have to put a tablespoon of heavy cream (blech!) into his bottles (he still needs the formula at this point twice a day for weight gain) and put butter and olive oil on anything and everything he'll tolerate it on. Sometimes I put some in a jar of food and mix it around. The poor child but he eats it. I would throw it across the room and pitch a fit.
He eats the school breakfast and lunch now and is doing really well. I'm happy about that. Now as we enter toddlerhood, he needs the calories and food for the energy he's going to use up.
No rest for the weary.
