Tonight I decided to feed Mel what we were eating because she was hungrily watching me eat. At first I just mashed coliflower in my fingers and was feeding her that way but Chris was getting tired of just sitting there and my friend Brandi loaned us a pretty nice high chair that still needs to be cleaned up a bit. So I threw the contents of our dinner (coliflower, noodles and chicken) and some 2% milk with a touch of water in the blender and pureed it. MEL LOVED IT!!! She ate all of it which is a big deal. Normally she just nitpicks through it and sometimes I have to urge her to eat. Not tonight. And to top it off she drank 4 ounces of 1/2 juice/water from a bottle. That is a big accomplishment too b/c she refuses to drink out of the bottle. I am so proud of my baby. She is close to 6 months so I feel safe in feeding her what we eat blended a little.
Last night she was eating Chris' mashed potatoes. I am so amazed at her progress. She is getting to be such a big girl. :)
