perhaps a foodie yet...

Through trial and oh-so-many-errors we have discovered that Micah eats best when he is eating with us. Both during our dinner time, chiming in with his own two cents during the conversation and eating a cut-up, mini-portioned sized and appropriately cooled version of what we are eating. "Enough with the BABY food, for chrissakes!" Micah pleads, "I want what YOU'RE having!"

Case in point: Micah gobbled up curried carrot ginger soup at Easter dinner and tonight it was whole wheat pasta with pesto. I think we are finally onto something here.

The opportunity to "feed" himself is also key. Though as this photo attests: as one might imagine, solid food like pasta goes down a whole lot smoother than oh say, runny yogurt that apparently doesn't magically stick to the spoon when it is haphazardly shoveled into the mouth (nostril, ear...) upside down (and yes, that is a Cheerio stuck to his cheek).


Mother's note: Yes that is a "Stonyfield Farm Yobaby Yogurt" container you see. Trader Joe's was out of our staple: local and organic Strauss Family Creamery Plain Whole Milk yogurt so I tried out the baby-marketed Stonyfield Farms variety. SUGAR is the second ingredient. Lame.
