My little guy is finally figuring out that the little nuggets I put on his tray are food and he’s actually starting to sample some things. He still spits a lot of stuff out (mostly fruits and veggies), but he tries most things. He used to just throw everything on the floor. I’m so proud of him, and I finally have reason to feel optimistic that I won’t have to feed him purees forever.
He’s sampling some of the dry fruits and veggies from http://www.justomatoes.com and I think he’s starting to like them, or at least get used to them.
His favorite healthy food right now……almond butter and jam sandwiches. Yippee!!
He even feeds himself with a fork.
Oh, and he’s eating yogurt and Lentil soup. Great sources of protein!!!
And he’s drinking water from a straw cup at every meal!
I just wanted to share because I know all of you will understand how exciting this is for me, and also hopefully it will encourage some of you who have picky eaters.
Yea for Miles!!
(I better stop – I’m getting smile happy ) You must be so proud (and happy too!!)It is so fun watching them feed themselves – Abby has started eating saltine crackers and Gerber puffs now and it is so much fun!!I just LOVE good news!!

Awesome news, Christine!!!!!! I know how wonderful this is, Brodie didn’t eat real food, (meaning not pureed baby food) until 13 months, when his cousin who is the same age was scarfing down Stage 3 baby food at 8 months!!!! Great Job Myles!!!!!!!
Wow, that’s so great Christine!
Thanks for sharing. It’s always good to hear something encouraging. Hopefully things will just get easier from here for you and Myles.Thanks everyone!
I hope he continues to try new things and learns to like more foods, but for now I’m just thrilled that he’s eating anything besides purees. He ate 1/4 of an almond butter and jam sandwich for supper tonight (!!) plus some purees and a few bite-sized rice cakes.The fork thing surprises me, too. I just gave him one a few weeks ago and he just knew what to do with it. He stabbed a piece of toast and ate it! I was amazed.
yay that’s great, i cant’ wait until my dd is eating solid foods…..
, pretty soon they will be scarfing down mccdonalds burger king what have you!!!! or if they are vegetarian veggie burgers at mCcdonalds. not that that s$$% is good anyways, anyways im rambling…gracegirl2006-11-9 21:46:44

Jonah at almost 3 & 1/2 still uses his fingers occaisionally, most often at times when I wish he’d be showing off his best manners- You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
