Good Eats

It seems that at 8 months a whole new world of food is opened up to a baby. Greta has greatly enjoyed expanding her culinary horizons and has become quite the little foodie. Her new love is yogurt. I think she would eat it by the gallon if I would let her. She also enjoys a bottle with drinkable yogurt in it (thanks for the idea Jen). Other new taste sensations are cheese & eggs (just the yolks). These are great because not only does she enjoy them but they make GREAT finger foods and keep her occupied. Coming up pretty soon will be the introduction of meat. We'll probably start with chicken first.

I'm curious, what are the favorite foods at your house?

Well, Norah's current favs are edamame, honey spelt, and cantaloupe. We read The Healthiest Kid in the Neighborhood when we were beginning solids and it gave such great ideas for shaping healthy tastes. Her first meat was salmon with turmeric. Introducing new flavors has been one of my favorite mommy tasks! Sounds like Greta is enjoying her tastetester role!

go-go (yogurt), cee-ree'ol (cereal), usually with milk, peebuh (peanut butter on anything, she likes to lick it off, rege (not the music, but raisin), sauce (balsamic vinagaigrette being her fav), sweet potatoes are one of the only things that she LOVED as a baby and still loves as a toddler. She likes a lot of her other fruits and veggies, too, but she still LOVES sweet potatoes.
