Food

David ate broccoli and mashed potatoes yesterday. Voluntarily!

His new independence in all things is both scary and fun. A couple days ago I was caught up changing Anna's diaper. He decided he was hungry. He went into the refrigerator, grabbed a Yoplait, went to the silverware drawer, grabbed a spoon, opened the yogurt and fed it all to himself before I was done with the diaper.

Anna has discovered how great Cheerios are. She loves gumming them down. She naturally has a drive for independence too and will push my hand away if I try to put them directly in her mouth. She wants to use her sticky little fingers to do it herself.

Her favorite foods right now are bananas, a Gerber apple/banana combo, banana flavored oatmeal, Edy's coconut fruit bars (I was eating one and she went crazy for it!) and a sweet potato/carrot soup from Martha's Everyday Food magazine. When I made the soup I joked that it looked like baby food and she likes it every bit as much as I do.
