AND voices when she is less than pleased. All signs of a healthy albeit petite baby. Abby was the same way... she was an avid breast milk junkie... and refused all things baby food until she was old enough for finger foods. Lots of babies prefer to be holding all the control cards... and food is one of the only areas in which she has total control. <br /><br />She's one now... so hand her a fist full of cheerios, some teensy cubes of cheese and see what happens. Oh, and a nice messy glop of pudding on her tray will work too. This is her messy phase. (take heart, this phase only lasts 12 years or so :P)<br /><br />Its far too easy to try to find avenues in which to doubt yourself as a mommy. Don't go there. You are an awesome woman, wife, friend and stellar Mommy. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36796698.post-15666931748393049772009-06-25T15:42:18.137-04:002009-06-25T15:42:18.137-04:00so this might be messy, and you are welcome to jus...so this might be messy, and you are welcome to just say NO like i have offered you crack cocaine, but what about putting little scoops of colourful foods directly in front of her, then showing her how you eat with fingers? dipping fingers direct into those delightful mounds is a lovely feeling experience and better still she's in control of making shapes and patterns. <br /><br />because we have no dignity round here i would then put soft cream cheese on the end of my nose and try and lick it off, because life should be fun. (and it is more emotionally rewarding for you than watching your adorable child scream her lungs out at the spoon of doom.) or you can say NO WAY and shoot me now. xGrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022216340604423686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36796698.post-43189761073970849462009-06-24T16:27:45.604-04:002009-06-24T16:27:45.604-04:00I think Charlotte is a little on the light side, b...I think Charlotte is a little on the light side, but her finicky eating might just be a stage. She will eventually figure out this eating thing. And after that, the weight and her appetite will increase dramatically. Also, don't worry about those teeth, Danielle didn't have any until she was one.crazywildberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970471452212336975noreply@blogger.com
