Picky Eater

Not a picky eater like her mother (the one that refused to try anything new till just a few years ago) but picky in the fact that when given real food on her tray she picks at the foods she LOVES!!! Shes eaten pretty much everything that we've given her but definitely has foods that she loves.

We noticed this with puff and Cheerios. Whenever we go out for dinner I take along a mix of Cheerios and puffs and place handfuls in front of Ramey to keep her occupied while ate. Before long we noticed she would purposefully grab the puffs. We even went so far as lining up a few Cheerios and a puff to see what she did... 4 out of 5 times she went for the puffs!!

We are slowly adding more "real" food to her diet. The other night she ate what we ate for dinner (chicken & green beans... plus pasta for the adults) Ramey went to town on the chicken (sorry Aunt Donna, no vegetarian here!!) and seemed to really enjoy the green beans as well. We've only done easy stuff... peaches, pears, green beans, shredded chicken, shredded cheese (was too hard to pick up so switched to cheese cubes), sliced turkey and bananas

I've noticed that when given foods that she likes there isn't much to clean out of her lap... she makes sure it gets into her mouth. Sorry Lefty!! (who waits patiently under her highchair for anything to fall to the ground) Don't worry Lefty gets her fair fair of Cheerios and Ramey loves to watch things fall to the ground (so far it's mostly toys but I'm sure food is soon to follow)
