This girl loves to eat..





We've been trying all sorts of new food for McKenzie. Favorites are: baby goldfish, Cheerios's, puffs, Little Crunchies, canned organic salt-free peas and pieces of soft fruits(peaches, pears 1/2ed blueberries). She's mastered her pincer grasp(awhile ago) and she totally digs feeding herself. She much prefers this to us feeding her chunkier things, though if it is from our plate she'll eat it.


She's been spitting out the stage 3 foods, so I think we'll stick with the stage 2's and move onto regular table foods when she's ready. I have NO idea why she won't take the stage 3's when she apparently doesn't have an issue with textures. It's a mystery I am dying to solve.
Anymore fun, healthy finger food suggestions would be appreciated. We're not a fan of hot dogs(for obvious reasons). But we're open to healthy baby-friendly ideas!

Does she have any teeth yet? Zack doesn't have any yet. I haven't gave him any cheerios but he does like the puffs.

She has her two bottom teeth. She's had them since about 5 months(somewhere during that period, bad mama). They're ALL the way out now. She does good chewing. In fact, she doesn't even use the teeth to chew foods- she pushes them to her gums and knaws.

Zack was born Nov. 27, 2008. I looked up when Mckenzie was born and they are a day apart. That is so neat. On doing the rasberrys Zack doesn't do them when he eats, he is to worried about getting food in his mouth. He will complain if you don't feed him fast enough.

The blueberry all over her face, priceless!
