Adventures in Eating

Lucy has decided on her own that pureed foods are nonsense and she'd like to give "real" food a try. The only mashed food Lucy will eat is banana but that is practically mashed straight out of the peel anyway. Above is a photo of Lucy eating kale blended with banana.

So, since she always refused purees, we tried a different angle and handed her half a pear, a stalk of broccoli, chopped up some green beans, and minced some steamed carrots. She loves picking up the little pieces of food to eat and enjoys gnawing on the larger pieces to take off little bites. Her favorite thing at this point seems to be green beans. She lets out a "Mmmmm" when she eats them...similar to her love for blueberries, which she now eats whole and frozen so they mush in her mouth. She'll only eat about 2 or 3 at a time but wow they make a mess! At this point she still only eats about a teaspoon or two of solid food per day.
