adventures in eating

so trying to get aiden to eat stage 3 foods and table foods has been difficult - aiden would gag so bad (which gagging is a normal part of learning to eat) that he would throw up... not just little spit up - full out. so we waited to try some more...

last week aiden finally ate stage 3 foods without a struggle (or gagging) - so then this weekend i thought - let's try some table food - so at breakfast i gave him some of my banana - and he ate that up! at lunch i gave him some of my macaroni and cheese - and he ate that up! so i talked to day care about how they like to start table foods and they were up to try whatever we wanted.... so this morning adam looked at the menu and gave the ok on some foods....

today at daycare aiden ate blueberry waffles for breakfast! ms. cecilia said that the older kids are always trying so hard to keep aiden away from their food - he was always so interested in what they were having! well - she gave him the waffle and he had NO CLUE what to do... she said he started to tear it apart and throw it on the ground! so she showed him - put a few pieces in his mouth and after that - he tore it up!! at lunch he ate half a chicken patty, half a roll and some mixed fruit and mixed veggies. they said he didn't really care for the veggies - but LOVED the bread.

so for dinner tonight - we started off eating some of his baby food (veggie chicken) and then i put some green peas on his tray...



he ate them all up! i know he loves feeding himself - i can't believe how much he is growing up!!
