What will Becky Eat?

As many of you know, Becky has not been at all interested in eating real food - if it's not in the bottle (or the corner of a piece of paper) she is totally not interested in it. She will sit in her high chair & mimic Doug & I chewing, but give her a piece of anything - or a spoon - and across the room it will go. There are exceptions - paper & the tag on anything.....she will carry around this block in her mouth all day - but never a cheerio will see the inside of this mouth!

She won't even let go when she flies with daddy...
This afternoon, however, we had a break though - yes - that is food on her face!!! Sweet potatoes and a little butternut squash with corn! Once a day, every day this week, I have forced her to try a spoonful or two of the baby food (before I put it in the bottle & mix it with formula!) Today, she willingly opened her mouth after the first bite - and when all was said & done - had eaten 1/2 a jar of the sweet potatoes!!!


I think mommy is WAY more excited about this than she is!
