Last week Kaylee had her 6 month check-up. Though it was her first visit with this new pediatrician, he quickly diagnosed her. "She's stubborn and has a strong-will." Not sure if I like the doctor or not, but he's accurate in his diagnosis.
We've been working on introducing solids since returning from the Christmas holidays. Danny seemed to go along with the whole thing much, much better. Kaylee loves pears, but otherwise raspberries away any baby food that is offered to her. Not just the gross stuff like rice cereal, peas, and squash, but even applesauce and mashed up bananas. Anyone relate? Any suggestions?
The only exception is if I let her feed herself. My independent little lady is happy to feed herself.
Of course this technique always ends in the bathtub. Perhaps with this one we'll just skip the baby food. I've been trying more mushy finger foods lately and those work pretty well.
As you can see they double as cute hair bows and enable us to bypass the bath and hair fixing altogether. I suppose if all other techniques fail, we'll just give in and let her eat the dog food.

Jason never ate... Seriously never, but he did like cat food! Hey, at least he was getting some protien!
She is darling. Sydney was my picky one and now she eats everything. I put butter and salt in the baby food and warmed it up and then she would eat the veggies (only orange or yellow ones). She never liked bananas and applesauce...? She now eats two bananas a day, so there is hope!
She is too too cute. That's all.
Grandma is laughing so hard she is falling out of her chair! Can't wait to participate in all the fun. Love you Kaylee and Danny. See you soon.
Elena's never been accused of being a picky eater, but every now and then when she won't eat something I just mix in small amounts of it with other things she does like. Applesauce goes well with pears, so you could try just putting a little together and then seeing if you can gradually increase the amount. Although, Kaylee certainly looks happy enough just eating pears!
I loved Pike Place the one time I went to Seattle! Lots of fun! Little Kaylee is a cutie and a half, funny that Abby didn't like baby food either so we just mashed up what we were eating and fed it to her and she liked it better. But she was a little bit older than Kaylee when we started doing that. So that's probably not helpful at all but good luck with that!
