We’ve been struggling a bit to find foods that you like and that are healthy and high in calories. Since you’re so little we’re constantly trying to get you to eat. When we first started introducing solids you ate everything we offered you, but recently you’ve become much more picky. At times you won’t even open your mouth, using your hands to shove the spoon away, turning your head and pursing your lips. You never did this a couple months ago.

You do great at feeding yourself finger foods, and you particularly like cheese and black beans. The old standbys of Cheerios and Cheddar Bunnies are also big hits. But we’re not able to get much spoon-fed food, fruit or veggies in your mouth.
