Eating

As you know, we had quite a struggle recently with Annabelle getting enough to eat. At one point she fell off the growth charts and the doctor started to get concerned. However, now that she's completely over her double ear infection and colds, she's eating like a champ! In addition to eating much more formula, she is also eating about 1 jar of baby food per day. We usually give her fruit at lunch and veggies at dinner. So far we have tried bananas, sweet potatoes, squash, peaches, and applesauce with success. This morning, she had her first success with a "textured" food. She has always refused rice cereal, but seemed to like the oatmeal with bananas this morning. She also likes puffs and is perfecting her pincer grasp. Only downfall? Green beans! We tried those at my parents and they came right back up (along her last formula feeding). No green beans for a while.

Her favorite so far is bananas. She sticks her tongue waaaay out, trying to open as wide as she can.


She's getting better at drinking out of her sippy cup. This one might be a little heavy, so I may find another one soon. But, she definitely gets some sips out of it.
