Last night, I gave Rachel a couple of crackers while I warmed up dinner for myself. Rachel showed no interest in the asparagus and penne, but as soon as I microwaved a plate of walnuts and rosemary, she went to town! It's a very easy summer dish I make with mashed-up anchovies, walnuts, rosemary, olive oil, garlic and rotini.
I dropped a couple of rotini on Rachel's high chair tray and she couldn't get enough of them, probably because they're small and squiggly. She ate almost every one, even the pieces that dropped on her bib!
This morning at daycare, I brought along a cup of yogurt Drew bought on the advice of a mom he met, who suggested getting the thick and creamy kind (which I hate). Rachel ate about a third of a container of vanilla yogurt a couple of weeks ago, and we never got around to feeding her the second container of strawberry yogurt that Drew bought.
Today, she ate almost every bit of it. I told Drew that I think we should just give her different flavors of yogurt every morning and dial back a bit on the jarred food. (I'm also thinking that the acid in the yogurt might help clear up Rachel's nasty yeast infection...). Her lack of enthusiasm for jarred dinner food last night makes me think that we are fast moving to all grown-up food. Hard to believe!
