Click on the picture to see Haven wearing her food. A friend told her that blueberries are better snorted, so she is giving it a try. Oh, and take a peek at her two pearly whites hidden behind blue lips.
Haven is now extremely interested in eating big girl food. She continues to venture out when it comes to finger foods and is mostly feeding herself. A few weeks ago, we went out to eat to Del Merei Grill where Haven had a taste of our garlic cheese grits and smashed potatoes. She was hooked immediately. No longer will standard homemade baby food concoctions satisfy her, however, sometimes she will eat baby food out of a jar. But, she much prefers real food with taste and texture. While it can be challenging to figure out a menu for both baby and adult, I am longing for the day where she can pretty much eat whatever we are eating.
Right now Haven really enjoys:
hummus
chicken and dumplings
corn fiesta casserole
scrambled eggs
french toast
bread
sweet potatoes
applesauce
spinach pie
teething biscuits
cheese
animal crackers (thanks to Aunt Carolyn)
pancakes
