Yes, Your Highness...

Xia sitting on her new "throne"!!

Xia loves, loves, loves bananas these days. She can eat a whole banana any given time! She has started being picky when it comes to some of her veggies, but if I add a bit of applesauce to them, she'll eat them all up! She likes gram crackers, cheez-its (not sure if I need to be giving them to her!), and honey nut cheerios. I try to limit those to a few right before her meal to occupy her while I fix her food. I give her cooked peas, green beans, carrots, and lima beans, crasins and cheese pieces for her to eat herself. I am working on giving her a lot more finger foods that she can eat herself. When I give her fruit to feed herself, the pieces are too slippery for her grasp and she gets frustrated because they rarely make it into her mouth. I can't wait to see what she does at Thanksgiving dinner!!! I'm gonna have one messy baby!

11/18/10 update:
Just read on my favorite baby food site: wholesomebabyfood.com to coat slippery fruit in crushed cheerios to make it easier to grasp. How smart! Can't wait to try it.
Also, I cut some grapes into eights (to avoid being a choking hazard) and she ate them all up!!! Woohoo...another non carb finger food!:)
