Ivan's been a really finicky eater this week again. I hope it's just a teething consequence. In addition to milk, all he wants to eat are blueberries, crackers, string cheese and peas.
He eats blueberries all day long (and a few months ago, I couldn't get one near his mouth). He also shares them with me.
Crackers are also a big hit. He's even learned the word.
String cheese, the low-fat kind I buy for myself and Mariposa, is also a bit hit. I think it's the fact that he wants to eat it himself, holding the package. (He's done the same with a banana today.)
He also likes my sauteed peas. He doesn't want to eat any other veggies (or any other sauteed veggies, such as carrots), but he's big on peas. He'll eat them if I feed them to him, he tries to spoon them himself, or, when everything else fails, he'll eat them with his fingers.
It's interesting because he really prefers foods that have a lot of taste, not bland baby foods. For example, yesterday he insisted on eating (blue corn) chips and salsa. I suspect it was partially because his Dadda was eating it so he wanted to eat the same. (This behavior is the only thing that explains why he likes to drink our homemade, unsweetened, bitter iced tea.) But Andy was also eating other foods last night, of which Ivan wanted none.
No longer his favorites:
He seems to have backed of yo-yo yogurt. Until recently he'd eat 2-3 yogurts a day, and that would be all he'd want to eat. (He'd go into the refrigerator to get the yogurt himself) This week, he's barely eaten a yogurt a day.
He no longer want to eat baby gerger cereal with apple sauce. I guess he's no longer a baby. This used to be his favorite food not so long ago.
