Gerber Baby Homestyle
Madison has been eating solid foods for a little over a month now and is doing pretty well with it. Baby food in a jar is rather expensive here and there isn't much available, so I've been making and freezing food for her. Our blender has become a permanent fixture on the kitchen counter (alongside my trusty Kitchen Aid stand mixer and bread machine, which get a lot of use as well).
Maddie will barely eat the stuff in a jar now that she has experienced fresh applesauce and pears. That makes it somewhat difficult when we eat out because, as handy as they are at home, frozen cubes of food aren't especially convenient in a restaurant setting.
Actually, Maddie is extremely picky. I didn't realize quite how much until tonight when we tried sweet potatoes. The child went - and I am not exaggerating here - ballistic. She was bright red with anger and squalling and screaming so loud that the vulcanologists probably thought Tungarahua Volcano was finally blowing its top. She choked and sputtered and really made sure we knew to throw that orange stuff out. It took me a good twenty minutes to settle her back down after the Sweet Potato Fiasco. I had some pears made and fixed her a bowl of that...she ate it really well, considering she was still quite angry at me for trying to sneak something different in. We tried bananas a while ago and she threw that back up after I coaxed a few bites down her throat. Right now all she will eat is applesauce and pears. NOTHING else. To be perfectly honest, I'm truly afraid to try anything else after our experience tonight. Brooklyn certainly had things she did and did not like but she never once reacted so strongly. It scares me. It really, really scares me.
Match that temper with these looks and you have a deadly combination....

Oh, such a face! Surely you are mistaken about a temper tantrum. Grandpa Ron said there must have been something you were doing wrong or she surely wouldn't have been so upset! Aren't you glad we aren't around to always take the grandbabies side of things?!
ReplyDeleteI WAS doing something wrong. I was feeding her something she didn't like. She didn't get this temper from Sean or I....this is all Grandpa Ron's fault in the first place!
