Fun With Food

We have been trying to give Alaina more finger foods lately. She is still not a fan of baby foods. We want her to try a variety of foods so she does not become a picky eater. So far Alaina seems to enjoy her finger foods. She does not eat much, but she will try most everything that we offer her. Some of her favorite finger foods are peas, cooked carrots, bananas, and blueberries. Sometimes Alaina has trouble picking up the pieces of food with her fingers. She usually make a big mess when she eats, but we don't mind. We encourge her to feed herself! Although she's eating more solid foods, she still prefers her bottle. Below are a few pictures of Alaina trying some new foods.

Cooked carrots and potatoes, YUM!

"Look at me, Mom, I can feed myself!"

"I'll try this new food you're giving me, but I still want my bottle!"
Alaina chews on everything she gets her hands on!
