I Don't Want Baby Food!

The last two days have been interesting with Alli. Feeding her has been more of a struggle than fun. The other night she just cried when I put her in her high chair, and cried out more when I tried to give her some food. In the morning, same thing. Oh, but she would take a Cheerio happily if I put it in her mouth. So the realization hit - she not crying because she's not hungry, she's crying because she doesn't like the food anymore.

So last night I decided that it was time to have Alli eat our food with us. Unfortunately, Kim was coming home late and fish was on the menu (not a good leftover food for us). So I waited on our dinner for him to get home, but for Alli I cooked up some peas and put them a few at a time on her tray. Yep, happy as can be. Most got into her mouth. A lot were in the chair when I picked her up from eating. She only threw one over the edge, and that's when I figured she was done. It was fun once again to eat with her.

So now I have to re-think a bunch of menus and take a little more time preparing meals for the little darling. All great things!

Shame on you for feeding her peas. Yuck. LOL. Time for her to eat real food. Go Alli Go.
