They're Like Mikey. . . .

When we decided to make our own baby food, one reason was that it was supposed to make the transition to table food easier and hopefully prevent picky eaters. Well, I don't know if it was the homemade baby food or if we just have good eaters, but we are totally on table food now at just 10.5 months. The babies refuse anything pureed, and they refuse anything we serve them on a spoon. It must be food that they can feed themselves. For breakfast, the babies have cheesy scrambled egg yolks, served with sausage, avocados, bananas, or whatever else we have around. For lunch, they have sandwiches, fish fillets, etc. with fruit or whole grain goldfish, or whatever else is around. Then for dinner, the babies eat whatever we eat, before it is salted.

I can't help but to be amazed when the babies eat what we eat for dinner. There is almost nothing that they refuse to eat, and so far meatloaf appears to be their favorite meal. Here are some pictures of the babies eating salsa chicken over the weekend:






And just in case it wasn't clear that Piper is the messiest of the babies, here she is right before her bath:

Oh that's awesome! I'm so jealous! Mine are STILL eating pureed veggies. They'll eat anything else, but not real veggies!!! However, I might have to beg for that salsa chicken recipe... Looks good!
