Ain't Too Proud to Beg

Even though mommy and daddy are anti-pet, lately, we feel like we have a little doggie. Anytime one of us decides to have snack, no matter what you are in the middle of or when you last ate, you always crawl or walk over and either grab or open your mouth for a taste.

Here's some evidence. Mommy was trying to eat a quick lunch before she headed out to run some errands. Here you are eyeing the chip dipped in guacamole- Then you whine a little....and mommy gives you a taste. I recently read this article about normal tasters, super-tasters, and non-tasters. And I think you are a non-taster evidenced by your willingness to try and eat anything. Surprise, surprise here's another pic of you eating- I have no complaints. I'll take super-eater over a non-eater any day.

Maevy Menu

You've always been a great eater, although sometimes you go on strikes. A couple weeks ago it was vegetables. Last week it was chicken. The trick is letting you watch mommy or daddy eat it first. Then we just ignore you a little and keep eating. You usually go ahead and try the new food on your tray and like it. Last night you ate and enjoyed (at for a little while) some turkey meatball with marinara sauce. But when you are done, you are done. You pick up the little piece of food and slowly, but dramatically drop it on the floor- always on the right side and always with your right hand.

I've always made the majority of your food or at the very least bought healthy/fresh ingredients. I wouldn't feed you anything that I wouldn't eat myself. No processed baby food for you.

Here's the full list of everything that I could think of that you've eaten-
Pureed foods-
asparagus
green beans
peas
broccoli

Recently, you've been eating more grown-up food-
