Eating Updates

Amelia is still nursing or having formula several times per day, but is getting increasingly interested in other eating.

An average day looks like this in terms of other eating (not milk/formula)....

Between 7-8am - Has breakfast with mommy banana bits and cheerios. I'm still feeding her at this point, because she can pick up the cheerios, but they don't make it into her mouth usually. She also eats cheerios at other points in the day, just as a little snack.

Between 10am-noon - Lunch veggies and fruit. Lately she has been eating about 6-8 cubes of food (3-4 oz.). I've started making combinations of fruits or veggies she already likes, as well as re-introducing a few things she didn't like so much in the past (mashed avocado and pureed banana). We also added peas and pears.

Between 4:30-5:30pm - Dinner veggies and fruit. Lately she has been eating about 6-8 cubes of food (3-4 oz.).

So, in addition to milk/formula, she eats a lot during the day.

Amelia has also tried a few other things lately....

Pizza crust (inspired by her younger cousin, Victoria) -

Rice at Pei Wei (this was a first, and she chowed down!) -

This is just during Chris's (and Amelia's Sitter's) Christmas break. Once she goes back to Sue's, we'll probably attempt to continue the breakfast fun, since she seems to like it so much. Also, she just seems to eat more veggies at Sue's, like what we typically would give her in an entire day (plus she still gets dinner at home). We'll be sending fruit with her now, too.
