Eating

After eating hardly anything the week that he and I were sick, Carter has been eating and eating and eating the last couple of weeks. I have no idea where he fits all that food in his tiny little tummy. When he's done with a meal, his belly is so huge and hard. Maybe he'll start catching up a little on the growth charts?

Carter is still not eating what we eat. We try, but he won't eat whatever we're having for lunch or dinner.

For breakfast he usually eats half a plain waffle, a mushed up banana or some other pureed fruit, and some cheerios to fill him up. Lunch lately has been yogurt, deli ham, cheese, and some sort of bread. Dinner is a little more random - usually a pureed vegetable or two and then something like a cheese quesadilla. Snacks are things like cheerios, a pureed fruit, or a granola bar.

Carter used to try just about anything. Now he's a lot pickier. Most new things may go in his mouth once, then get spit out with a funny face being made (Carter squenches up his nose and makes an "eewww" look). Usually though he shakes his head no at me before he opens up his mouth.

I'm not too worried because Carter still eats healthy foods but I really can't wait until he'll eat what we eat!
