So far it looks as if Micah is going to follow in his sister's footsteps with his love for food. He eats just about anything. He has completely transferred to finger foods, mainly because of my lack of enthusiasm and time to make baby food. When I gave him a whole cracker for the first time, his face just lit up!
Mara still enjoys feeding Micah, but he has started pushing her hand away. Lance thinks this is because sometimes she shoves toys at him, so he's defending himself. She gets so frustrated when he does this.
after effects of being fed by sister
Mara only ate cottage cheese by being fed with a spoon. Micah is served cottage cheese on his tray and he eats it by fistfuls. Oh how much a second kid teaches and changes us.
This girl thought she had won lottery when I asked her if she wanted to lick the mashed potato beater. It wasn't even cookie dough!
Food isn't so much fun for me when it becomes a game - the "drop it over the edge and see where it goes" game.
Or when a toddler hasn't quite perfected her fine motor eating skills. No, this isn't a week's worth. Just one meal.
Or when there's a Cheerio war.
But, I know someday my kids will be all grown up, and I'll wish I had food messes to clean up. So I'll do my best to be thankful to be on my hands and knees after every meal.
