The other day this title though began to take a literal meaning. I heated up a mix of zucchini, carrots, and green beans. Sarah actually picked out the green beans and carrots and ate them before she would try the zucchini. Then this morning I cut up some pears and purple grapes for breakfast. She dug through the pile picking out the grapes first, and would only eat the pears once the grapes were all gone.
She really does enjoy feeding herself and has enjoyed mac and cheese, turkey, beef and noodles, and even eggs (though I was then told by my dr not to give her eggs until she's one, oops).
And for all you other moms out there if you haven't tried Ella's Kitchen fruit pouches, they are awesome! They have straw top which allows Sarah to hold the pouch and suck on healthy, organic, pureed fruit. They are more then I'd like to spend for food on a regular basis but they are a life saver when we're on the go. On the drive home from FL it was a way for Sarah to get her flavor fix without having to fight about feeding her with a spoon. We love them! Plus, it's helped Sarah learn how to drink from a cup with a straw. Just wanted to share that little gem we've found.
she's a food separatist, just like Auntie Em!
