The beginning of food wars???

Esme's getting pickier and pickier when it comes to food. She wants to eat only a few bites of things and then she's done.

Lately she's loving saltines, but that's been a constant for awhile now. She's definitely a salty girl. Not like her sweet loving momma! She doesn't like graham crackers, but give her a saltine and she's happy. She also loves pork chops. She also likes tomatoes, apples, bananas, really anything she can eat by herself. But she's figured out that when she shakes her head no, it means no. She's not using the word no yet, but when she doesn't want to eat something, you quickly know.

She practiced using a spoon yesterday for the first time and did pretty well. I think she probably got a good half of the food in that she tried to.

On another note, we finished with formula today! We're finally done with it! On to whole milk. We've been doing milk for a couple of weeks now, but mixing it with formula to get rid of the formula. It's going to be nice to not have to mix that powder from now on.


It's hard to believe that Esme's big enough to be done with formula. Next step, giving up bottles. We'll see how that goes!!!
