Nummies

I never thought the day would come when James could really eat and enjoy his food, but that day has come at last! John loves to tell the story of how I lamented that James was still refusing to eat much more then a couple of ounces. But that is a story for another day. Really, there wasn't anything that he LOVED to eat, except mashed banana. And of course he had a reaction to banana so that is off limits for a couple of months before we try that again.

He has developed quite a repertoire of food that he will eat. His favorite thing is to feed himself, and he does really well with his "easy dissolving" stars and wagon wheels. Or his FAVORITE are the cheese puffs, also easy dissolving. Whole milk yogurt was also a big hit, he can eat 4 ounces without blinking an eye, and he opens his mouth in anticipation...yum!

Super Yum!
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Yogurt
  • Crackers or biscuits
  • Guava
Yum!
  • Carrots
  • Squash
  • Oatmeal
  • Apple sauce
  • Peaches
  • Pears
  • Apple and cherry sauce
  • Squash and corn
  • Barley cereal
Yuck!
  • Green beans
  • Peas
  • Cottage cheese
  • Rice cereal

That is a pretty good list of yummy food. No wonder James is growing fast.

Paula loves the picture of James in his crib wearing a diaper about to get dressed. He looks like a really big boy in need of a bigger crib.
That picture is in John and Paige's pictures. Enjoy

I sure had fun visiting.

I had a similar banana experience. I am still waiting to get over it...

Don't give up on the yucky foods yet, keep offering them to him and he might surprise you. I'm so excited to see that he is trying so much, have you offered him kiwi? That's one of my favorites!

You knew he had to become a good eater some day. I don't know any Turners that don't like food ;)
