Picky

Madilyn is a bit of a picky eater. I think she must have gotten it from me. I'm getting better. I think. I've been known to go through stages where I eat the same thing for a long time and then suddenly decide I'm never going to eat it again. I once ate cream of wheat every morning for 3 years and then decided I didn't like it at all and went another year or two before deciding I liked it again. But the list of things that I never eat like hamburgers, milk, and condiments is getting smaller. So I decided I'm the one to blame for this picky eater. I've tried about every kind of baby food I can think of and the only things that she consistently eats are green beans and peas. She opens her mouth wide and loves every bite. If I try something else, she closes her mouth so tight I can't even get the spoon in. So last night I decided to try giving her some bread to see if she liked that. She stuck her tongue out and wouldn't let me come near her mouth with the bread. I gave up and just gave her the whole piece to hold while we finished our dinner. She smelled the bread, even licked it, but then decided tearing it to pieces would be more fun than eating it.

Here she is inspecting the bread.

She was so proud of herself. I'm glad it was only bread. I can only imagine the messes she will make when she can actually move around!We had crumbs everywhere. Somehow she even got them in her diaper.
